As the standing governing document, The Constitution of The North Pacific states:

ARTICLE III. Elections and Elected Offices.

Section 1. Election Procedures.

B - Elections and referendums shall take place on The North Pacific Regional off-site forum. Elections for the UN Delegate, the UN Vice Delegate, the Prime Minister, the other elected Cabinet Ministers, the Speaker of the Regional Assembly, and the Security Council, shall be held every three calendar months in the months of February, May, August, and November. Voting shall commence at 12:00 am GMT on the first day of the designated month and end at 11:59 pm GMT on the seventh day of the designated month. Voting in any necessary runoff election shall commence at 12:00 am GMT on the tenth day of the designated month and end at 11:59 pm GMT on the sixteenth day of the designated month. Nations take office when a certificate of results of an election are published.

As it is now the 10th day of November, 2007 (in my locality anyway), and voting was to commence upon the 1st day of November, I hereby file an formal question as to why elections have not occurred.

The failure to carry out elections would seem to be a violation by the sitting government against the rights of TNP citizens to elect a new administration.
 
There was some discussion in the RA about delaying elections, as the last round was delayed because of a rogue Dali-gacy. Before we reached any consensus on the matter, EM had a go at the region. By the time that mess was cleared up, we were past the time needed to hold nominations, campaigns and elections by Nov. 1.

How about we target Dec. 1 for the start of voting?
 
Yes, elections are fairly overdue. We need to get off our arses and get moving.
