Elections:
-- The term election needs to be clarified to encompass
the entire election cycle, including any runoff polls.
-- CoS J.1 specifies that Nomination threads and the
Nomination Tracker threads should be posted in the
Citizens sub-forum. We've been doing all this in the Main
Forum which keeps all the election threads neatly (well
as neat as they can be) in one place. [b]CORRECTED[/b]
-- CoS B.1.k (nominations) conflicts with CoS J.1.a and
J.1.e. [b]CORRECTED[/b]
Vacancies:
-- The term vacancy / vacant needs to be clarified to state
it applies only in certain cases. This is also handled
indirectly by the 1st point, an election isn't over until
its completely over.
-- When an office remains unfilled after an election
cycle because there were no candidates
-- When an official resigns
-- When the office holder is declared absent and removed
from office
-- If the same person wins multiple offices, do they enter
both offices and then resign one, creating a vacancy, or
do they withdraw from one election prior to its
completion, so the 2nd place steps up?
Senate:
-- Section C.3 of the CoL is unworkable. Given the short
time between game play sessions there is not enough time
to get proposals from Senators and then post a seperate
poll thread that will allow 24 hours to vote and still
allow the President of the Senate to post slider
instructions.
-- Also, seperate poll threads do not seem to be needed as
these can be handled in the Senate thread itself. Also,
allowances should be made for cash rushes that are not
made at the same time.
-- Section C.1.a.2 of the CoL defines the Senatorial
President as the VP, but does not specify a mechanism to
fill this important office during official absences of
the VP. This leaves us with nobody empowered to post
instructions on the areas within the Senate's control
during a Vice-Presidential absence.
Refusal Polls:
-- Refusal polls need to be cleaned up
-- All laws calling for one should simply state "Any
citizen may request a refusal poll for this action".
-- CoS section on Refusal polls should be cleaned up as
well. A strict reading of current verbage could imply
that deputies are not subject to them.
Amendments
-- CoL and CoS Amendment sections along with JR Review of
proposed laws could use some clarification.
-- Explicitly state in CoS Amendments that no Amendment may
contradict any Article of the Constitution or Section of
the Code of Laws
-- Basically, establish the CoS as below the CoL.
