@Pallaith has been appointed to the Election Commission by the Delegate. Noting that this nomination is subject to confirmation by the Regional Assembly, I hereby open the floor to debate and discussion on this matter. I invite the Delegate to give a statement in support of the nominee.

I think it's clear that the Frontiers/Strongholds update has, albeit slowly, had an effect on our ability to hold a strong total population. By consequence, WA endorsements are down, and we've reached the point where our Security Councilors are suffering. It's time for an adjustment...
The 12-hour-long challenge period has now passed, and the Election Commission is now ready to vote on whether or not to certify the December 2025 Special Judicial Election results as given to them by the Election Supervisors, per Section 4, Clause 10 of Election Commission law:

We lost a few people in a short amount of time, and we're now down to 5 total members. With Pallaith running for Justice, we're now below the minimum number of available commissioners required.
I asked @Prydania if he could step in to fill the 5th seat. Are we all good with that, or does anyone...
Per the following (emphasis added), and considering that the relevant position is currently vacant:
the Court appoints @TlomzKrano to the position of Bar Commissioner, subject to Regional Assembly approval.
"Hold my rum."
@Jinkies presented an idea to flip our elections so that the Judicial elections were done on Jan, May, and Sept., and General elections done March, July, and Nov. Issue was how to do this cleanly and in the nicest way possible to not screw over recent winners. That thread was...
Remember when I did this a few years ago?: https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9195616/
Let's do it again!
Side note on previous positions which you can all find in the previous thread, this is now the second time I've decided to run for Justice, and, just like last time, someone else is...
In case the Open Elections Act fails, I propose that we add it to the Election Commission Rules and do what was asked of us anyways. Honestly the contents of that law are better suited for our rules package anyways.
If the Open Elections Law passes, this becomes moot, but we could include it...

All,
Candidacy Declarations for the January 2025 Special Judicial Election were declared closed on Tuesday by mistake instead of Wednesday as it should have been.
The question is how to resolve the issue.
I am leaning towards reopening declarations for 1 day, followed by the normal two day...

Just for a little bit of context... at the time I'm making this post, the voting phase of the January 2025 General Election is in progress, and I am one of its two Election Supervisors. I was also Vice Delegate responsible for the VD check and a Global Moderator responsible for the Admin check...
The Security Council has nominated @TlomzKrano (Kranostav) for a seat on the Security Council. The vote for this application was 8 Ayes, 0 Nays, 0 abstentions, 0 not present.
The Chair now presents this application to the Regional Assembly for its consideration.
The Security Council's...

Here I am with another kneejerk bill. Difference is this time I think I'm actually doing some good. Here's the situation:
On (time=1727766780), @Dalimbar changed their citizenship nation. This was acknowledged by Deputy Speaker @Matzerati at (time=1727792280). However, the spreadsheet entries...
... or close enough.
The issue I wanted to address, and I mentioned this in my "campaign" thread for Vice Delegate, is that as a Global Moderator, I am actually able to do the Admin Check for citizenship. You've seen me do it. But, I've never been in a position where I could do the Vice...
I've put together this rule update for a third person to verify the work of the Election Supervisors to make sure that private ballots were recorded properly. Idea being: If the CEC is not a supervisor, let the CEC see the private ballots. If the CEC is a supervisor, let the next person in line...
Let's be honest with ourselves. We had our chance with The Wellspring, and we blew it. We'll never acquire one without changing our military doctrine, and that isn't happening any time soon. It's time to face facts. We're never getting a territory. Period. So, let's declutter our laws to get rid...
Sil Dorsett for Vice Delegate
Well, I wasn't really planning for this. Legitimately thought I was just going to be guiding the Election Commission through the first election under the new rules. Guess that ain't happening now!
This isn't so much of a "Here's why you should vote for me"...

With the July election done, I want to circle back around to various rules proposals and see what we're interested in implementing before the September General.

@Tim Kasto brought it to my attention that I had listed him as "Sir Kasto" on the ballot, which was a previous username of his but not his current. The question brought forth is what to do about the irregularity.
I personally believe that it's obvious who voters are voting for and would vote to...
El Fiji Grande has petitioned us to review the exclusion of a private ballot from the results of the November 2023 Judicial Election. In keeping with Section 6 of the Rules of the Election Commission, we must review this decision made by the Election Supervisors and vote to either:
