Submitted by Cool101jr from the Citizens Assembly, this Amendment will be debated by Senate for three days in accordance with the constitution. Have fun.

Seems to tighten up the first act in terms of methods, lengths of short lists etc. Can't personally see any reason to oppose it. | |||

I'm all for giving the Grand Chancellor the authority to draw up a list of candidates- however, and this is just a thought, why don't we open up the opportunity to run to anyone who qualifies? My reason is that in the most recent by-election the two candidates were the two members who failed to get into the Senate at the previous election that just seems to be a little too much of a restricted field. So yes while I think allowing the GC the authority to draw up an initial list is a good idea in that it would ensure the vacancy is filled I would suggest we in addition open it up to others. |

I suppose their is no reason theGC couldn't do that as it doesn't specify the method of how they draw a list up. | |||

Agreed with Ach, by-election candidates are usually generated from those who ran from senate and didn't get seat, or that's what I thought. If not then it may be nice to have a specific method for choosing by-election Candidates. | |||

What about saying those who missed getting elected are automatically on the list and anyone else has 24 hours to nominate themselves before voting begins? | |||

So how about we change ""(3) Following an Early Vacancy, the Grand Chancellor shall, as soon as reasonably possible, create a list of at least two potential candidates to fill it." To read (3)Following an early vacancy the Grand Chancellor shall, as soon as reasonably possible create a list of at least two potential candidates to fill it. This list shall consist of any unelected candidates from the original election as well as any member who nominates themselves within 24 hours of the announcement of the vacancy. |

*Slips $10 into Gadshack's pocket* To provide a bit of context as to why the By-Election Procedures Act is being amended: The act currently prescribes that should a By-Election be held, we use the Supplementary Vote electoral system. At the time, apparently it was beyond reason for myself and other Senators to consider that the list of candidates may only be two. So, this Amendment thus far changes:
To:
So as a matter of amending Section (3) further, I would support Dave's amendment though with a bit of shifting about:
I would also recommend taking a look at the original act here to see if there are further amendments you'd like to ma–wait, what do you mean I'm not allowed to speak here? This is an outrage! You may take my Senatorship but you'll never take my freeeeeedom! Edited by CGJ, 29th December 2014 - 04:11 PM.
