February 2017 Election
for
Speaker of the Union

---

By the power vested in me as Speaker of the Union (ad interim), I now declare the nomination period for Speaker of the Union open!

You may declare yourself a candidate or nominate another state for the running (they of course would have to accept for it to count). We will be using the SLU Election Portal to administer this election after extensive testing and no objection. Once the nominations period is over, the website will update to allow you to vote. The Union will stick to a preferential voting method for this election.

The nomination period will conclude on 2017-02-20 at 23:59 UTC. The relatively lengthy period of time for nominations is to ensure that enough brouhaha is created for the election so that we can bring people to the ballot and, subsequently, the polls! Voting will start immediately after the close of the nominations period.

If you need any help converting between time zones, there are numerous sites to help out with that. This is but one.

Good luck to all!

While I appreciate the nomination I am not active enough anymore to be able to fulfill the requisite duties of the position and I will have to respectfully decline.

After much consideration, the government of Anaaxes wishes to notify the Speaker at the last minute of our intention to run. Thank you for the nomination Chameliya! (::)
