[Chancery] April 2019 Senate and HoC elections.

[Glüc da Dhi]

Azul citizens of Atatürk,

I have currently no information about whether the chancery is requested to conduct Senate and/or House of Commons elections during the upcoming GE.
That means as it stands the chancery will include a provincial vote option but not conduct the senatorial election.

Is this correct or will a request be forthcoming from the Başbakan, or the House of Commons to have the chancery conduct the Senatorial election in accordance with the OrgLaw and/or not conduct House of Commons elections?

Additionally, if the chancery is to conduct the upcoming House of Commons elections, does the province wish to provide specific additional instructions for voters to be included on the ballot?

I hope to hear from you soon.

-Glüc da Dhi,
Secretary of State

Azul,

Thank you for reaching out.

In the past, Cosa and Senatorial elections have been conducted by the Chancery, so both the provincial and Senatorial options should appear on the ballot for the upcoming GE.

Were additional instructions for voters specified on the last ballot? If so, it's likely they would be the same.

Org IV.7 states that a province must explicitly make a request for the chancery to conduct the senate elections. Absent any specific provincial law I believe a request from the Başbakan would suffice.

No. This is the first time such an option will be provided. In the past the ballot just said:
"Your province might be handling it's provincial election at this time. If so, you can enter your vote(s) below and it will be compiled by the Chancery

Provincial Vote: ____________________

Update: The Chancery has received a request from your Başbakan. This means the chancery will now be conducting the upcoming Atatürk senate election.
