Citizen #33:
James O'Neill | The Rave
A citizen who chooses not to vote on legislation presented to the Rave may do so on three consecutive occasions after which he forfeits this right. To regain the voting privilege, he must petition the Rave to have his legislative voting rights restored or ask for a pardon from the provincial governor. This “non participation forfeiture” clause does not apply to general elections.
This needs to be removed in its entirety. Has any other country had this? This seems a little crazy to me.
Once you are a citizen you are always a citizen unless something is done, as is mentioned in a previous article about the courts. This is not a right that should be arbitrarily stripped.
Elections
At the beginning of each election an updated citizen contact sheet will be distributed to each candidate and the election commissioner in order to assist with the campaigning and contacting of citizens. This list will be assembled and provided by the Governor.
This should be removed for the sake of privacy. Email addresses should just not be distributed. Albeit most are not worried about other Talossans having their email addresses, but there may be someone who is not keen on it.
This is more under the purview of the Secretary of state. The Electoral Commissioner should be approved and overseen and edvised by the Office of the Secretary of State. The Election Commissioner could ask the SoS to notify all Florencian Citizens of the Vote and pass it onto them, or if in our current case where we have a mailing list type setup we could use that.
Perhaps we could add:
The Electoral Commissioner is appointed by the Governor and is approved by the Office of the Secretary of State who will advise and assist the Electoral Commission as needed or requested. The Electoral Commissioner may be a standing office and may not be the acting or current Governor.
