Alex, our sénéchal, who apparently is very busy, has asked me to take care of the etats voting on this one as well. (I'll ask him to confirm it on witt as well, so you don't all start thinking I'm making things up)
A8: The Sénéchal elections act.
Whereas the Cézembrean Constitution does not specify the exact procedure for electing a Sénéchal, now
Therefore l’Etats declares the following to be the correct procedure for the election of a Sénéchal, in accordance with the Constitution of Cézembre:
1. The dates of the election shall be determined in accordance with the Constitution.
2. If the Conducting Officer, designated by the Constitution decides to run as a candidate, he/she must appoint someone else to
act as Conducting Officer in his/her stead.
3. Before the election starts, the person conducting the election must request and be granted access to the Cézembrean section of the electoral database, in accordance with the Provincial Minions Act.
4. All candidates contesting in the election may choose to elect a representative to supervise the elections.
5. A candidate representative as appointed according to clause 4 must be a citizen of Talossa, may not be a candidate in the election, and must request and be granted access to the Cézembrean section of the electoral database, in accordance with the Provincial Minions Act.
6. Before the start of the nomination phase the Conducting Officer will send all voters an email explaining the election procedures. This message must be posted online as well to ensure voters who did not receive the email have the chance to notify the Conducting Officer of the mistake, so it can be fixed.
7. If the Conducting Officer is notified of a change in email address, he/she must report this change to the chancery.
8. The election will be conducted using Ballotbin or a similar automated ballot that is capable of conducting the elections in accordance with the provisions of this act.
9. The settings of the Bin must be so that the Admins can only see the results after the election, the candidates are presented in random order and the election is conducted using a preferential vote.
10. After the election, the representatives of the candidates will be given access to the admin account of the election.
11. After the election the Conducting Officer will post all the cast ballots, in such a way that they cannot be linked to the voters.
12. The final result will be calculated using Instant Runoff Voting, with ties being decided by random chance in a transparent way.
13. It will be considered a criminal offense for any of the candidate representatives or the Conducting Officer to communicate to anyone about the order in which the candidates voted, how the candidates voted (if known) or the email addresses of the different voters or to use this information in any other way than for the conduct of the elections.
14. Exception to clause 13 can be made when the information is used as evidence in a court case.
