I would suggest you reword your amendments to IV slightly. Rather than "current assembly," "of the total" might be better. You also need to specify what happens if there is no one else in the local party willing to take seats - does the party just not get to assign those seats? Lastly, you should probably specify if this law applies throughout the year - can seats be reassigned later?

"current assembly," to "of the total". I am happy to accept your suggestion
"you should probably specify if this law applies throughout the year" not sure exactly what you mean but as far as i can tell it would operate same as it does at the moment.
"can seats be reassigned later?" Part IV specially states how and when seat can be reassigned i don't see how the amendments change that

No!!! Any citizen may be designated to hold any number of duly assigned seats not to exceed 50% of the total seats

Amendments to: The Election Laws for the Province of Maritiimi-Maxhestic
I. The size of the Provincial Assembly of Maritiimi-Maxhestic shall be equal to the number of citizens who voted for a registered political party in the most recent election. This is intended to give each individual voter their share of representation in the Assembly.
II. Registration as a political party is simple, and amounts to giving public notice to Maritiimi-Maxhestians a minimum of ten days before the election. This public notice shall be formally called the Sticla, and must be available on request to any potential voter. The Sticla must indicate who is the head of the party. The Head of the party named in the Sticla is the only person who can assign seats won by their party in the election. While it is not required to have information about the political positions and advocacies of the party, this is something that is recommended.
III. Elections shall be held in public, and shall begin at the time of national elections. They will be conducted by whoever is chosen unanimously by the outgoing Provincial Assembly; if no one is so chosen, then the Secretary Of State shall conduct the election.
IV. The head of each party named in the party Sticla shall distribute seats in the Assembly to citizens of the province. Any citizen may be designated duly assigned seats never to exceed 50% of the total seats. Seats may not be reassigned unless first voluntarily relinquished by their Assemblyperson, who may relinquish either all or any of their seats as they choose.
