I wonder who they were...Immortal said:Census for articles A B C F G H I J K L M N is declared as 48 and Id like to tell the three people who obviously dont know how to read how disappointed I am with them.
LeeT911 said:Couldn't the silence of voters simply construed as indifference? And since those who have voted have voted overwhelmingly to ratify the articles in question, can't they be considered passed?
Article I. Census, and Amending the Constitution
1. The census shall be defined as the average number
of votes cast, dropping fractions, in each of the
contested elections in the most recent general
election.
2. Ratification of Amendments to the Constitution
shall require each of the following:
a. A poll which is open for at least 96 hours, which
states the text of the proposed new section(s),
the text of the section(s) being replaced, and
posing the question in the form of yes / no /
abstain.
b. A [b]60-67%(tbd)[/b] majority of yes votes.
c. A [b]total number of votes[/b] greater than or equal to
2/3 the census current at the start of voting on
the amendment, dropping any fraction therein.
d. The Amendment poll must first be posted as a
"proposed poll" in the discussion thread created
for the Amendment. The proposed poll must exist
in the discussion thread for 24 hours prior to the
Amendment poll being created. This gives adequate
time for review and changes.
Article P The Game Opening Constitution
1. The Constitution that officially opens the Demogame is subject to
ratification quorum of 51% of the active census. This status of
[i]reduced quorum[/i] will remain in effect for the first week of the
Demogame's first Term. This Article will help alleviate any quorum
problems caused by one-time voters or transient citizens.
