[Lombardy und Venetien]

I'd like to start by nominating the current ministers. @risu for Foreign Affairs, Mons Garle for Domestic Affairs, and Vernima for Immigration.

[Anaaxes]

I nominate Chameliya for Domestic Affairs, Lamatama for Immigration, and Ceni for Foreign Affairs.

[Mons Garle]

Happy to accept nomination for DA :) I would also nominate Westerheim for Foreign Affairs!

[Lamatama]

You know, I think it is time to contribute to the region in a leadership role. Nomination accepted! After reading Section 3 of the GRA, I am prepared to accept these responsibilities. My work on a platform begins. Thank you for the nomination, Anaaxes.

[Lombardy und Venetien]

Firstly, thank you very much for the nomination, Mons! I think on this occasion I'll have to decline however - I'm very happy for the time being in my role as Parliamentary Justice, having only just been re-elected. By the time of the next ministerial elections I may have a change of heart, but for now I'll sit it out. I wish the best of luck to all candidates!

[Chameliya]

I would like to accept this kind nomination from Anaaxes, and hope to be able to continue to work with Mons Garle in way similar to what he have so far.

[Lamatama]

I'm afraid that I am forbidden to campaign (still trying to figure out what that means). O_o    I have prepared something short and sweet, though as "un-campaignish" as possible. Where may I post this statement?

[Northern Inertia]

Post it in a new thread in this sub-forum. Why is it that you can't campaign, if you don't mind me asking?

Voting for Minister of Domestic Affairs will begin as originally scheduled on Sunday night. Nominations for the two other positions have been extended until we have two candidates for each of them.

[Ceni]

I'll go ahead and run, but if I'm elected, the deputy will have to fill out the first two weeks or so of my term

[Northern Inertia]

I would like to nominate @conwyshire for Immigration and Normandy and Picardy for Foreign Affairs.

[Normandy and Picardy]

I will happily accept the nomination for Foreign Affairs from Northern Inertia

[Deleted]

I'd like to apologise for my tardiness in reading through this thread, I'd also like to apologise for keeping the vote from commencing but after revising the base principles and role of the Ministry of Immigration (for which I have been nominated) I would humbly accept/confirm my nomination for the Immigration Ministry and furthermore thank Northern Inertia for the same nomination.

[Northern Inertia]

Now that we have two candidates for the position for Minister of Immigration, we can begin voting in an election for the position. Voting will begin in a couple of days, at 00:00 UTC July 4.

I'd like to thank Lamatama and Conwy-Shire for running.
