[Cyc]

This is a Proposed Poll for the addition of a Section to the Code of Laws. Please review the legislation carefully before voting:

CoL G.1 - Deputies
A. For all positions using deputies, a deputy must be
selected in the following manner: If the election was
not contested, any citizen may be appointed. If the
election was contested, the deputy position must be
offered to the runner-up in the election. Should that
citizen decline, the office holder may seek any citizen
for the position. If there is a tie for runner-up, the
deputy may be chosen from all those citizens that
are tied. However, all of the tied citizens must decline
before any other citizen may be appointed deputy for
that office.

Please Vote:
YES, I approve the Article as written
NO, I do not approve
ABSTAIN, I have no opinion

This poll will be open for 96 hours, and is Subject to Section I (1) of the Code of Laws.

Discusion can be found here.

Assuming "citizen" excludes "office-holder" or "deputy" (of a different office), this seems fine.

[Cyc]

Correct, Rik Meleet. Citizen is assumed to mean eligible citizen.

Yup, breaking my usual policy. 'Course, I was one of the authors, it would be rude for me not to support the proposal.

No, forcing the leader to automatically choose the runner-up as deputy might cause diffusion in the department (espicially if they hate eachother). Let the leader choose his deputy.
