Census

[Immortal]

In order to proceed with ratification I need the census of voting citizens.

If you vote here, you MUST vote in the constitutional ratification polls, and vice-versa. Otherwise census will be skewed and the demogame will be delayed into August due to the lack of 2/3 majority census.

It is imperative that ALL voting citizens cast a census ballot AND a ratification ballot.

This poll will end in 96 hours.

Why didn't you just make it a public poll?

 

[Immortal]

Because I forgot we had that option/

 

[Cyc]

I'm gonna have to spank your avatar for that, Immortal. Have her report to my office.

 

[Immortal]

I uh... I dunno quite what to say!

other than:

DANCE!

 

[Chieftess]

You need to redo the poll if you want it public.

[BCLG100]

err, im a citizen and am about half way through voting on all the polls, hopefully i havnt missed one out.

 

[Ankka]

I think I voted in each of them.

Umm, you're not quite right about the effects of not running a census poll. Just take the average of all the ratification polls as the census.

Also I think in the past we have run it so that a majority can ratify the constitution up until the last article is ratified, and then go to a 2/3 majority of the census being required for amendments. BTW it doesn't appear that anything is in danger of not being ratified even if a 2/3 majority were required -- keeping fingers crossed...

 

[Immortal]

Simpler this way, and gives some insight into our numbers heading into our first election.

I figured ID rather follow the constitution than tradition DS, I know we've done that in the past, but it might be time for a change, the more people in favour of a ratified article, the better.

Arg! I acciently pressed citizen and then pressed vote. Could a mod add one extra vote to "I have voted in the Ratification polls", please?

Moderator Action: I've added 1 to the "I have voted in the Ratification Polls", but we're still 1 down.

eyrei, that's why we needed to make this a public poll. We'd be able to see the bozo who just wants to mess up the count.

 

[GenMarshall]

I voted for both options.

Don't call me Eyrei ...
BTW; we can't make it public; as Chieftess pointed out. If you want that; you have to post all polls again and select that option.

 

[Fier Canadien]

Let's see, 43 voters in Presidential, number of citizens: 41.

Um, we've got a problem!

Sorry, RM. My mistake. For some reason, I thought I saw eyrei's name at the bottom of the post. I guess I need to slow down.

But I do realize that you can't switch a poll to public after it's already been created, we would have had to create new ones. I just wanted to stress the point of how much I support public polling.

 

[Immortal]

I support public polling too *kicks self*

I started this poll at midnight when I had a lot on my mind and couldnt sleep, I didnt even consider public poll because it never crossed my mind!

 

[Donovan Zoi]

I support public polling for all policy matters, while leaving elections private. At the commencement of Term 1, I will also be touring all Government threads to persuade them to make all official polls public.
