Ok i think we should decide this quickly, here is the plan.
-24 hours to vote unless all five members have voted, and the grand chancellor if he so wishes.
between all senators unless they drop out
Start time: 9:18 EST 11/30/13
End Time: 9:18 EST 12/1/13

Despite being the Premier, Ms. Beatrice is also a Senator and eligible to be the Speaker, the Charter does not prohibit her from doing so.

Just fyi- never, ever, ever use the inbuilt poll feature, because you can't track who voted for what. Vote by posting aye or nay.

Do we still want to end the vote at 9:18, despite Sen. Ceylon not voting? Especially as he could tie the vote.

Seeing as the twenty-four hour voting period has elapsed, and all the Senators have voted I declare the results to be as follows:

Elpidia- 2 votes
theatom117- 1 vote
Ceylon- 1 vote
Chernobereg- 1 vote
Beatrice- 0 votes

Therefore I declare myself to have won the election. Thank you all for voting.

Technically, you will need to agree over the validity of the result; but it is worth noting that a; the sooner you have a speaker, the sooner you can get on with business; and b; if no speaker was decided within 7 days of the election finishing I would be inclined to appoint Elpidia to the role. So I would suggest that the senate simply rolls with it.

Well this could be embarrassing considering I've already done something as Speaker.

I see no problem with validity so I'm rolling with it.

Considering the participation of all Senators as implying consent to the terms of the election, I'm going to go ahead and start carrying out the office. Unless, of course, there is an objection.

I'll postpone debate on our first bill until tomorrow, to give everyone time to review the validity of the election.
