The Citizen’s Union presidential election for June 2021 is starting, and I have been appointed as the Election Officer to run it. Here’s some basic info on how this will work.
FINISHED PHASE Today, June 27th, I am opening up nominations. Any citizen may nominate up to 3 other citizens by messaging WeatherCats on discord, the forums, or in game with their nominations. In order for a citizen to be able to run, they need to have gotten 2 nominations. A citizen may not nominate themself, and they may not use any nefarious means to gain nominations. A player must accept the nomination before the voting phase to be a valid candidate.
CURRENT PHASE On July 3rd, I will be opening up the voting phase at the Citizen’s Union meeting. Any citizen can vote for their preferred candidate by messaging WeatherCats on discord, the forums, or in game with their vote. As before, a citizen may not vote for themself or use any nefarious means to gain votes. The voting phase will end at 11:59PM EDT on July 9th.
At 3PM EDT on July 10th, the results will be revealed. The citizen with the most votes will be chosen. In case of a tie, the citizen with the most votes listing them as the 1st preference wins. After a handover period of a week (ending at the July 17th meeting), the elected president will officially take over as president of the Citizen’s Union. The incoming president will then choose a vice president to take over running meetings if they are absent, and to replace them if they quit before their term is up.
Please don't annoy others with your campaigns, please try not to spam your campaign in the various CV chats. Talking about a couple times is okay, talking about it constantly isn't.

FAQ
What is the Citizen’s Union?
As quoted from their constitution, “The Cubeville Citizens Union exists for the betterment of the Citizen experience on Cubeville, providing a forum for the free discussion and exchange of ideas, running events to provide social opportunities and enjoyment and seeking to present the views of the Citizens to the server management where appropriate.”
Is the Citizen’s Union officially endored by staff?
No. The Citizen’s Union is fully separate from server management.
What does the president of the Citizen’s Union do?
The president runs the meetings, is a tiebreaker for all tied votes, and generally runs the CU.
Do retired staff count as citizens for the Citizen’s Union’s purposes?
Yes! Retired staff can vote on CU-related topics (including elections) and run for CU president/committee.
What if I don't want to participate? Is there some way to request to not be involved?
If you contact me saying you don't want to participate, then I will mark you as declined in the nominee list.
What if the player I nominated declined the nomination?
You will get one of your nominations back, and you can cast it on another citizen.
What happened to ranking your vote?
Well, with 2 candidates, a ranking system is unnecessarily complicated. So, we're just using a normal voting system where you pick your preferred candidate
