Thanks guys, but since I'm currently an EC for the Judicial Special Election and thus have access to The Voting Booth's PMs, I decline my nominations.

I move that this election be tabled until the Special Judicial Election is over so Darcania may be able to run.

(If that's a thing.)

Unfortunately, I don't think elections are every delayed until one particular citizen can run. With that in mind, I think Darcania would make an excellent AG.

For the time being, I'd like to nominate Sasten, Gracius Maximus, and falapatorius.

Seconding Sasten's nomination.

I nominate falapatorius

It is not within the power of the Commission to suspend an election simply to allow a given citizen to seek election.

I nominate Abbey for AG, also.

I decline (on account of being EC for the general election)

I nominate Bootsie

I accept. Thanks.

I withdraw my candidacy declaration.

Actually, after reading Darcania's platform, I think it would be great to have a new AG. I withdraw my acceptance.
