[Anaaxes]

I hereby nominate Northern Inertia and Goncar for FA; Ceni, Zunkwentania, and Kanoria for DA; Aertaseren, Nytavuthar, and Howltaria for Immigration.

[Chameliya]

I would like to nominate myself for the position of Minister of Domestic Affairs.

[Goncar]

I accept my nomination for FA. Thank you Ana! I will post my platform on Saturday.

[Northern Inertia]

I would also like to accept my nomination for FA, and thank Anaaxes for it!

[Ceni]

I accept my nomination;

my ideas must be pretty good, since they've been taken three times before an election (regional newspaper, City of Culture, and now the environmental conference... :P)

[Chameliya]

NAR, your post seems to imply that we cannot begin campaigning until 19 November. Just wondering if this is intended - I'm unsure whether to post my campaign or not.

[Deleted]

I'll accept my nomination.

[Nytavuthar]

I would like to humbly accept my nomination for IM.

[North American Republics]

Chameliya: The constitution states that campaigning begins one week after the nominations period. Article 6, Section 1 (relevant portion): "After the one week nomination period, a period of campaigning to last least three days but no more than seven days shall take place." There is a clear separation between the nominations period and the campaigning period.

[Chameliya]

Okay. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

[Anaaxes]

The nomination period for the positions of Minister of Domestic Affairs and Minister of Foreign Affairs has concluded. However, nominations for the position of Minister of Immigration are still being accepted.

[Avaerilon]

Hmmm... I think I'll nominate Howltaria and Vancovaria for Imm, just to spice things up. That and I think they'd do a good job (::)

[Vancovaria]

Unfortunately, I choose not to run for Immigration. Thanks for the offer anyway. It's an honor.

[Kanoria]

I would like to nominate Vernima for Imm.

[Anaaxes]

Despite our efforts to find another candidate, only one nation has decided to run for the position of Minister of Immigration after one (1) week. Nytavuthar shall become acting Minister of Immigration. I will send out a message every week to the region, until there are at least two candidates, then an election shall be held.

Feel free to nominate yourself or another member state!


Legal Reference:

Article 8 Section 5 of the Constitution of the Social Liberal Union:

If one or less candidate (s) have declared their candidacies for any position before the start of elections, the World Assembly Delegate shall send a message to all members of the region encouraging them to run. If no candidates have declared their candidacies within the period of one week, the sole candidate becomes the acting officer for the position he has declared his candidacy for. If no candidates are running for the position, then the previous holder continues his administration. The World Assembly Delegate shall send a message to the region encouraging them to run every week until at least two candidates have declared their intentions to run for the office in question. Once two candidates have declared their candidacies, a campaigning time of one week shall pass, and elections shall be held for the extent required by law.

[Chameliya]

I would like to nominate Zunkwentania (SLUan Presence) for Minister of Immigration.

You're nominating someone who left the region for immigration?
Nonetheless, I'll accept :P

[Anaaxes]

Yay! I will get the proper threads up soon. :)
