Cyc is actually correct, and i must reverse my opinion on the legality of this poll.
Unfortunately this poll cannot be considered official and binding right out of the box. While I do not agree that a official poll can only be posted by a leader (the constitution guarentees citizens the right to poll on any topic, and the CoS on official polls does not limit them to leaders), there are a few requirements that must be met.
The laws require the proposed text of the poll to be posted in the discussion thread for a minimum of 24hrs prior to posting the poll. Unfortunately that is clearly not done for this poll.
The length of time the poll will be open must be included in the opening thread, and that is not done here.
Also, all proposals in that thread must be discussed for at least 24 hrs, and that may be violated here.
This poll is very effective as an informational, and the will of the people will be expressed here. I would expect the Domestic Leader to take heed, while I applaud FortyJ and his contributors for pushing forward a process that is loooooonnnnngggg overdue.
