Citizen’s Union Presidential Election (February 2022):
⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Citizen’s Union presidential election for February 2022 is starting, and I have been appointed as the Election Officer to run it. Thanks go to WeatherCats, the last Election Officer, for creating a great post layout I have completely stolen! Here’s some basic info on how this will work.

Today, 14th February 2022, I am be opening up the voting phase of the election. Any citizen can vote for their preferred candidate by messaging me (WallyDonkey) on discord, the forums, or in game with their vote. A citizen may not vote for themselves or use any nefarious means to gain votes. The voting phase will end on 21st February.

On 22nd February, the results will be revealed. The citizen with the most votes will be chosen. After a handover period of a week 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:

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 endorsed 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 candidate.

Just a reminder that you have until the end of tomorrow to make nominations - at the moment nobody has the required two nominations to proceed to the official vote.

The nomination phase of the election has ended, and the following two candidates have passed through to the voting round:

LokiBeeper
Mir07

Please message me in-game, on discord, on the forum or via carrier pigeon to cast your vote for your preferred candidate. There is only one vote per player, and you may not vote for yourself. And as with the nomination process, nefarious means of gathering votes may lead to disqualification - let's keep things clean. Good luck to both the candidates!

Apologies this is a day late. I can now announce the results of the Citizen's Union Presidential Election! With a majority of the cast votes...Mir07 is the new President of the Citizen's Union. As per the rules outlined at the start there will be a transition period from Lime to Mir, which begins as of now.

Congrats Mir!!

Congratulations Mir
