DEFEATED due to lack of 2/3 yes majority.

I don't see anything wrong with this Article. Can we resubmit it in a new poll?

Yes, constitutionally we have no provinces, or governors, or deputies, or term limits.

Com: Constitutional Amendment proposals must be opened for discussion in the citizens forum for at least 24 hours before a proposal can be polled.

Then, if no one else does so, I will open it for discussion. I am working on rewriting Article E right now, and will put that up soon.

It's madness that a 31-1-1 (a 93 % of yes votes !!!) vote defeats an article. Drop the census not to the maximum turnout, nor to the average turnout, just base it on the turnout at the ratification.

I know it's not really neat, but we have to stay realistic. In the DG a lot of people vote during elections, and you'll hear from them again at the next election. They are blocking that way the constitutional process. As we can't even find enough votes during elections, we'll never meet the quorum in the middle of a term.

DROP THE CENSUS, DROP THE CENSUS!

This is exactly what happened during a previous demogame, and I think the reason we went with 1/2 the average votes in the elections.
