Nominations: January 2014 General Election

This January, The North Pacific will be electing a Delegate, a Vice Delegate, and a Speaker, to serve until the next election in May. Any Regional Assembly Member is eligible to run.

To run, one must either accept a nomination or simply declare candidacy in this topic. Nominations, acceptances of nominations, and declarations of candidacy must be posted in this topic to be valid. Acceptance of a nomination is understood to also constitute declaration of candidacy (you cannot take someone off the ballot by removing your nomination of them at the last minute). This allows for transparency and clear record keeping. All nominations, declarations of candidacy, or acceptances of nomination are legally required to be posted during the nomination period, which is from (time=1388568900) to (time=1389000900). One may only be a candidate for one position in this election, so acceptance of nomination or declaration of candidacy will be understood as withdrawal from candidacy for all other positions. Voting will be from (time=1389015300) to (time=1389447300).

This topic is intended for nominations and may not be used for campaigning. Please keep in mind that lying about the election is election fraud, and that lying for any purpose is fraud.

r3n: To be fair, one is not required to be an RA member to be a candidate.

One is, however, required to be a citizen.

Seriously? Hysterical.

As I am now a Citizen, I believe I am once again eligible for the Position of Delegate.
I accept my self-nomination.
