Attention Citizens of Talossa!
His Majesty, King John I has dissolved the Cosa. That means a General Election will be held starting the 15th of November and ending the 1st of December.
The Electoral Commission has certified the following rules for the conduct of this election: Proposed rules 54th Cosa elections.docx (21.33 KB)
These rules are an addition to Talossan law regarding elections, specifically OrgLaw Sections IV,VI and VII and Lexhatx title B. Be aware that not every detail of the law has been explicitly included in the rules so knowledge of the relevant laws might be useful.
The rules can soon also be found on the rules page of the database, which will be updated in the near future to reflect the changes that were made as a result of certification.
This thread serves to announce the rules, to inform Parties, Senatorial Candidates and Provinces about what needs to happen before the election and as a way for parties and candidates to register.
Glüc da Dhi,
Secretary of State
Timetable
13 November 23:59 TST (-5 UTC) - Registration deadline Political Parties.
14 November 23:59 TST - Registration deadline Senatorial Candidates.
15 November, morning - Balloting Day, all citizens receive their ballots.
1 December 19:30 TST - Election deadline, results are announced.
14 December - Certification deadline
30 December - Party fee deadline to sit in the Cosa during the first clark
Information for Parties
In the upcoming election the 200 seats of the 54th Cosa will be elected.
For a party to be able to obtain seats in the 54th Cosa two things need to happen.
1. You need to register with the chancery. This needs to happen at least 24 hours before balloting day!
Registration should include:
* Full Party name
* Party Initials
* 50 word statement
* Party Leader(s)
* Candidate list (this is optional, but if no list is supplied only the party leader is allowed to receive seats (see Lex.b.2.3 for the full rules regarding party lists).
* Party platform URL (optional)
In addition, parties that currently hold cosa seats may provide a statement of up to 50 words for each referendum either in favour or against the bill.
All of the above can be done by posting in this thread, sending me a pm or sending an email to talossachancery@gmail.com. (Information can be updated at any time before the deadline, but the initial registration needs to include at least all the mandatory parts).
Candidate lists and Platform URLs can still be provided/updated the day before balloting day.
2. You need to pay a fee. This needs to happen before assigning cosa seats.
The fee is 6¤40 ($10 USD) and needs to be paid to the Bürgermeister of Inland Revenue, Istefan Perþonest, who will hopefully post information about how to pay before the start of the elections. Parties can appear on the ballot before the fee has been paid.
Information for Senatorial Candidates
Four Senate seats will be contested during the upcoming elections: Maricopa (3 cosa terms), Fiôvâ (3 cosa terms), Florencia (2 cosa terms), and Cézembre (special, 2 cosa terms).
Some of these will be conducted by the provinces themselves. Others will be conducted by the chancery. A list will be included in this post with the most up to date information about which elections are conducted by the chancery.
If elections are conducted by the chancery, the election will use IRV and allow write-in candidates, but candidates do get the opportunity to be listed on the ballot. All you have to do to appear on the ballot is register with the chancery. This can be done by posting in this thread, sending me a pm or sending an email to talossachancery@gmail.com.
In order to appear on the ballot you have to register before the start of the elections.
Information for Provinces
The chancery provides the option for provinces to have their Senate and Assembly elections conducted by the chancery. Additionally in the case of assembly elections, provinces may provide supplementary instructions to the voters (this could be a description of the relevant provincial law, whether to vote for a party or person, a list of provincially registered parties, etc). The chancery requests that provincial representatives supply this information (what elections should be conducted, voting instructions) to the chancery. I will also look at relevant provincial law and post a thread in each province asking for details. If no information is provided by the province (in whatever form) the default option will be to include an option for a provincial assembly vote, but NOT to conduct the senatorial election, as this requires an explicit request from the province.

Atatürk - Election conducted by the chancery.
Benito - Election conducted by the chancery. Instructions: "For the Benito Legislative Assembly, please vote for a party, or PRESENT if you wish to cast a null ballot."

50 word statements
* FREEDEMS:
The Free Democrat-led government has delivered where other parties have just talked. From taking control of our national website to reviving the national language, Miestra Schiva and her Government team have gotten things done and made things fun. Re-elect us for more democratic reforms, hard-working leadership and an exciting Talossa!
* NPW:
Derivativism has run amok and turns Talossa into a far less-fun place than it once was. The NPW provides a remedy to that with some well-placed reality. The NPW wants to clear space so everyone can let their freak flag fly.
* AMP:
Why do you love Talossa? Whatever you answered, we’re here to help you make it happen. AMP presents the clearest path to cutting pointless bureaucracy, reinvigorating cherished institutions, and keeping our community and heritage alive and thriving; just read our manifesto. Let’s unlock our Kingdom’s unique and boundless potential.
* PNP:
The PNP views Talossa as Nation without borders and wants to see an end to unrealistic land claims being made on American and European soil. We believe in civic nationalism for Talossa, where anybody that wishes to become Talossan should be able to do so without barriers. Agree? Vote PNP.
* MTGA:
REPUBLICANS MOST UNITE! The last Florencia fiasco as many others show us how the monarchists can bring down action in this country.
VOTE FOR US! GIVE TALOSSA A CHANCE TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST INACTION!
* ZPT:
While we don’t have fancy motivational giveaways - we do love the Kingdom of Talossa and our King. Join the hard working Zefençadeirs del Päts Talossan in a common effort to defend our land, our law, our language, our culture, our people and our King.
