Changed to:Article 7: The Challenge System
- A: Any citizen who wishes to become an Officer or the Delegate may challenge for the position. A challenge for Delegate requires the support of two other citizens. A challenge for Officer requires the support of one other citizen. This requirement is waived for officials seeking reelection.
- B: Elections begin once a challenge is submitted. If the elections are for the position of Delegate, any citizens admitted after this time will not be allowed to vote until elections are completed.
- C: Any citizen who also wishes to submit a challenge may do so during the first week of elections in the case of a challenge for Delegate, or during the first three days of elections in the case of a challenge for Officer. No further challenges will be accepted during the elections after this period.
- D: After the challenge period is completed, the Assembly will vote to elect the Delegate or Officer as set out in Article 3, except that in the case of Officer elections, where the vote shall last four days. Candidates may campaign during voting.
- E: A challenge to an official within 30 days of their election shall require the support of four citizens.
- F: In the case there is more than one Officer position vacant, and at the end of the challenge period for any vacancy the number of candidates for all vacant positions exceeds the number of vacancies, one election shall be held for all vacant positions. As many candidates shall be elected as there are vacancies.
The only major change here is reducing the voting times from 7 days to 5 days in the Delegacy elections, from 7 days to 4 days in other assembly votes and from 4 days to 2 days in officer elections. Everything else is reword to fit my own tastes... and to try to make certain thing clearer ( mainly 7F which was really confusing, and has been merged with 3D & 3F ).Article 7: Elections
