I thank the speaker for indulging my request.

Given that my term is up on the 25th, and these votes tend to be near unanimous, could I petition the speaker to shorten the vote to three days instead of four, so that my term will not expire before the completion of the vote? Length of consecutive tenure on the commission does have meaningful...

I would say we should probably move to ranked-choice voting for judicial elections. The legislative language for it would be a bit tricky, but the process would be simple enough. Just run it like a single-winner election, then remove the winner from the rankings, add back all the losers, and run...

Done. Done. This is a little beyond me. I'm aware of the Unknown Member bug affecting many accounts that were migrated from the old forum, but I don't know the cause, and haven't been aware of it affecting anyone's ability to send messages. Were you able to send messages before, or has this been...

Newly Masked Residents: @Darta(sumatran empire) @Tycho Brahe @Barikadistan @Relith @KaleByte Others were not masked either because they were already in the citizens or residents group, or because their TNP nation had moved or CTE'd. I realize this is the first time in a few months that...

Residents have some posting permissions that non-residents don't. That thread is how they gain those permissions without applying for citizenship or the NPA. Yes, the admin team should be checking that thread like we do the citizenship thread, and masking them. The speaker's office should then...

Yes, when the voter's preference of candidate is unambiguous, I believe they have cast a valid ballot even if they have submitted a ranked list of candidates in a two-candidate race, instead of selecting a single candidate.

Changing the flag is a pretty major endeavor, and while I like the new design more than the current one, I think this sort of process needs more input from the region at large and more time than it's been given so far. I also have a minor issue with the design. As it currently stands, they're...

Kronos, I think it's confusing because we haven't had a ranked choice election yet. Beginning with the September general election, you'll rank the candidates in order of preference, rather than selecting only your first choice. So under clause 28, removing a withdrawn candidate from the ballots...

You can do it as IRV. You have everyone rank the candidates once, and conduct it as if you were electing a single candidate. When you have a winner, remove the winner from the rankings and recount to get your second winner. Remove the second winner from the rankings, and recount to get your...

OK, we're a month on from Democracy Day itself, and booklets have yet to hit the mail - I had some major life events happen (all good, but time consuming) so I haven't had a chance to do much with NS lately, including this. I hope and expect that booklets will be mailed in the coming week...

Done done.

We'll still need a justification for why the new forum section is needed. Generally, I prefer that new initiatives and programs take place in existing forum sections, and only create a new section if it can be demonstrated that a program has outgrown its location. Is there a reason that the Home...

Done Done Done Need more information - we're generally reluctant to divide the forum into more sections than necessary. How would this new subforum be used, and why can't the existing public Home Affairs ministry forum accommodate this purpose? Does the delegate support this request? Done. There...

We still have free pocket constitutions available for anyone who wants to fill out that form!

Happy Democracy Day everyone! Also, just a quick note to please don't say anything publicly about whether you have filled out the form, since that could inadvertently cause me to learn your RL address, and I do NOT want that. Thanks to all the kickstarter backers who contributed the funds to...

I respectfully decline.

Caught up on requests.

All done. This is a duplicate request. The delegate requested it on the 24th. Sorry for the delay.

We reached our funding goal in record time this year! Thank you on behalf of all the residents of TNP who will benefit from your generosity (and your incomprehensible lust for TNP memorabilia). I've added a couple of stretch goals that I think will add value for the beneficiaries of this...

Punk, your example is a brilliant demonstration of why plurality winning is bad. In your quite plausible example, candidate B would win under plurality system, even though a majority of the electorate prefers candidate A over candidate B. Even under our current system of separate-vote runoffs...
