The Constitution will be amended in this way:
Add the following at the end of Article 7, Clause B:
A challenge for Delegate will be considered to have been submitted, and elections begun, at the beginning of the first month following six months having elapsed from the last vote for Delegate.
Thus, the amended Article (7) shall read,
Article 7: Elections
- A: Any citizen who wishes to become an Officer or the Delegate may challenge for the position.
- 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 in that election. A challenge for Delegate will be considered to have been submitted, and elections begun, at the beginning of the first month following six months having elapsed from the last vote for Delegate.
- C: The challenge period is the first seven days of Delegate elections and first four days of Officer elections. Further challenges must be submitted during the challenge period. An official being challenged must confirm their intent to run during the challenge period, but does not require the support of any other citizen.
- D: A challenge to an official within 30 days of their election requires the support of four other citizens. Otherwise, a challenge for Delegate requires the support of two other citizens, and a challenge for Officer requires the support of one other citizen.
- E: Following the challenge period, the Assembly will vote to elect the Delegate or Officer.
- F: Simultaneous elections will begin for all Officer positions on the first day of April, August and December, as if a challenge had been made. Incumbent Officers must confirm their intent to run.
- G: If there are multiple vacant Officer positions, each challenge is to be taken to be for all vacant positions, and a simultaneous election is to be held. Incumbent Officers must confirm their intent to run in accordance with Clause C.
- H: The voting system is determined by law. If there is only one candidate in an election, a confirmation vote requiring a simple majority is to be held. Simultaneous elections are to be held as a single election for multiple positions, except that if the number of candidates does not exceed the number of vacancies, each candidate is to be subject to a confirmation vote.
