With nominations having closed for Secretary-General nominations the moment has come for you to vote for your preferred candidate. As is to be expected only members of the Commonwealth Treaty Organisation may vote in this election. There are two candidates seeking the position:

Candidate One
 
Individual's name: Serenity Azurewind
Nominating country: Achkaerin
Other nationalities (if any): n/a
Relevant prior experience (if any): Crown Princess of Achkaerin, active negotiator at several major treaty events including for the CIS as a proxy. She tends to handle more active foreign policy matters than her father.
A short description (<100 words) of why they should be elected: Serenity has more experience in the diplomatic field than most in fact the only people with more experience tend to be Heads of State. She's been a major participant in treaty negotiations including the CETO, MCUR and Commonwealth. She's also attempted initiatives such as the Mundus Youth Assembly and the Cotf Aranye Partnership. Recently she achieved success in mediating the Ardian Diplomatic Convention. She's also conducted interviews for the CIS as part of the membership application process.

Serenity's highly intelligent, perceptive and not afraid to call it how she sees it. She knows most of the major players internationally and works well with them as her record shows.


Candidate Two
 
Individual's name:Birgit Strand
Nominating country: Union of Nordic People
Other nationalities (if any):Ålander
Relevant prior experience (if any): Foreign Minister of the Union of Nordic People, Deputy Head of the Longhouse
A short description (<100 words) of why they should be elected:
Birgit was the co-author of the Uppsala convention, she was responsible for organising the inaugural Pride celebrations, she also was part of the UNP team that mediated between the CSTO and Warsaw Pact following their conflict. She has also successfully negotiated the split of the UNP with Nya Åland allowing both nations to part on good terms. She has also represented the nation at the formation of such movements as the Pan-Albion Congress.


Whoever gets the most votes wins and, in the event of a tie, I'll defer to CGJ's trusty coin flip to determine the winner. Voting will be open for 48 hours.

" While everyone knows the Kingdom of East Moreland has respect for the work Serenity has done we feel voting for her is impossible at this time. We have two reasons, first we believe that the CTO Secretary General post to be one of the most significant on Mundus, as such us willingly putting a 17 year old in charge when we do not permit 17 year old to vote back home would not be appropriate. The second reason is we believe our leaders should uphold at least the spirit of our faiths Code of Canley, even if they do not fulfil its exact spiritual requirements, therefore as the code considers ones education only fully complete once you turn 18 we again feel it inappropriate to, at this time, vote for Princess Serenity. I know the process requires only a simple name to be given however our nations connection to the Azurewinds deserves an explanation. That now given we vote for Birgit Strand."

OOC- Not that I'm objecting or anything but since this is an RP vote and we've got the whole Emergency Measures thing going on would the Tytor vote in an IC sense actually stand?

Just querying it.

OOC: The Tytorian representative is, much like the country's representative to the Pan-Albion Congress, somewhat stranded at the moment. He is doing his best to vote the way he feels he would be asked to vote were the elected government still in power. If that's unacceptable, I can withdraw my vote.

ooc - Icly no ones suspended Tytor from the CTO or asked their guy to leave so I guess he's free to vote. Clearly we must be allowing the government in exile to retain the seat or something otherwise the CTO would have acted to remove then.

"The Federation of the Dijel votes for Birgit Strand. While both are individuals of outstanding personal achievement, we feel that it would be inappropriate for us to endorse Miss Azurewind, given that she is below the required legal age for an individual to take public office under Dijeli domestic law, although this is not to detract from our respect for Miss Strand, who has an exceptional record as an advocate of peace and reconciliation, which is precisely what it is that we feel this organisation needs"

OOC- Actually having done the maths we have 18 members and we know Matt's LOA so as the present count is I believe 9-3 in Birgit's favor that I believe is a majority. So this is a result.

OOC- Well it's 8-4 now (having double checked) Serenity would need every remaining vote to take it 9-8 which let's be honest is not going to happen.

Well this has been official since last night so since we're all aware of the result- I suggest the new Secretary General (since the voting period expired at about half eleven this morning) sets about the Security Council elections.
