Proposed by--Tucana25 00:07, 29 November 2006 (EST)

1. All elected positions shall be decided by the active voters of the census.

2. Any proposal to create future elected positions must state the tenure of the position and how officials may be removed from office.

3. The election process shall follow this procedure:

3.1 Elections will take place on the first day of every month, according to EST. Not all positions must be voted on every month, depending on the length of the office.

3.2 At any time after the results of the election have been adopted, nominations may be made for the next election. A player may not nominate themselves. A player must accept their nomination in the appropriate forum to receive votes during that election. Should no nominations be put forward before election day, the incumbant officeholder shall retain their office for the normal term laid out for that individual office.

3.3 Newly elected officials will take office at the begining of the second day of the month, according to EST.

4. No player may hold more than one elected position simultaneously. A player holding an elected position must resign before accepting a nomination for other elected positions. Players may accept a nomination for office while holding that position without resigning. Should any office be vacated for any reason, the result will be an emergency election. The protocol for emergency elections shall follow Rules 304 and 326.

5. No player may be determined "winner" during an emergency election. No player may be determined "winner" during election days (the first day of any given month).

6. Any conflicts in this proposal with Rule 321 regarding the position of Judge shall defer to that Rule.
