Office of the Judiciary - Term 5

No, there's a distinct difference. Acting Governors are never elected. ;)
Well... strictly speaking they do have to get past an acceptance poll... which probably makes them more elected than you or I, Shaitan :king: ;)
 
maybe we should implement acceptance polls for all elected officials after the eleciton?

like: do you accept this government?
 
You mean non-elected officials? Perhaps have elections even for unopposed candidates with CANDIDATE/NONE/ABSTAIN options. That's doable with no changes to the rules. If NONE wins, the position would then be appointed.
 
Doooh! How embarrassing...
 
an example:
you have 4 candidates. you like 2 of them and hate the other 2. you vote for one, but he doesnt get even up to deputy. your second choice becomes deputy though, so in the approval poll you decline the leader and accept the deputy. if many ppl think like this, the deputy would become the leader and could appoint a deputy for himself...
(now this is really! going to be complicated ;-)

This is just a very long way to do multiple choice polling (which was shot down with laser guided missiles when I suggested it).
 
I know... it was more or less a joke though from my side, but just to mention: im for multiple choice elections and polls totally if the rules used to determine the winners are laid out clearly.
 
I like your option for unopposed candidates, Shaitan. Although I'll be eating my words when I can't get into office in the next game :D
 
btw:
now as i reread,
i would fully support a acceptance poll for ALL unelected official possitions (including appointed and unopposed).

and another thing:
maybe we could also have approval polls for all non-official positions? what if someone doesnt like the census officer? this would be the only way to get rid of him.
 
Regarding acting governors, I think a single approval poll per position and individual is sufficient.
 
I have a question involving the recent 'modding' of our Cheif Justice, Shaitan. Unless I'm much mistaken, moderators are not allowed to hold 'leader' positions, like governor or president. Does this affect the Judical Office?
