Citizen discussion: amending section 8 of the CoL

[ravensfire]

Both polls have closed with the following results.

On the question of the length of the poll:

• 72 Hours -- 14 votes
• 96 Hours -- 1 vote
• Other -- 5 votes, majority of which stated 48 hours
• Abstain -- 0 votes

On the question of the time frame to post the poll:

• 48 Hours -- 13 votes
• 72 Hours -- 5 votes
• Other -- 1 vote (96 hours)
• Abstain -- 0 votes

This should settle the dispute and allow the proposal to go to the Judiciary soon.

The first poll was horribly done, It didnt have a option for leaving it unchanged at 48hours

I think that there might some citizens who voted 72h as it was the minimum offered and they would vote 48h if it would be an option.
My opinion is taht it would be wise to repeat that poll with the option of 48h added.

This is a Citizen's Initiative poll for the amendment of the Code of Laws. The purpose of this amendment is to clarify the process for Confirmation polls and to close a current loophold in the law.

This is a public poll, and will run for 4 days. For this amendment to pass, a 6/10 majority of voters must vote 'Yes'.

Current law:

VIA. Any citizen may post a confirmation poll for an appointment to a Vacant office. This is a private poll, asking the question "Should <citizen name> serve as <office>?", with the options Yes, No and Abstain. This poll should last for 48 hours. If a majority of citizens who vote, excluding abstain, vote no, the appointment is reversed. This citizen may not be appointed to that office again that term.

Proposed Amendment, completely replacing above section:

VIA. Any citizen may post a confirmation poll for an appointment to a Vacant office within 48 hours of the appointment. This must be a private poll, asking the question "Should the appointment of <citizen name> as <office> be confirmed", with the options Yes, No and Abstain. This poll must last for 3 days. If the poll closes with more no votes than yes votes, the appointment is reversed. This citizen may not be appointed to that office again that term. The appointee holds the office and is free to exercize the full powers of the office until such time as the appointment is reversed.
