The June 2017 election is almost here. As I mentioned on the regional message board, I think the 19th Senate should consider reforming the regional constitution. Here are my three ideas:
Of course, the main concern would be staffing -- getting enough players to fill all of the offices:

Now that the 19th Senate has started, I'd like to take a straw poll of the senators on the various proposed constitutional reforms. Just answer "Yes" or "No" to these ideas. Unanimity is necessary for amending the regional constitution. Later, we can debate details (e.g., the wording of amendments).

This straw poll was helpful. It appears that we have three areas of agreement.

2-month terms, please. And yes, not sure if term limits are really needed. |

I believe that we should give [wiki]range voting[/wiki] some consideration, if it can be applied in multi-seat constituencies (so far, I have been unable to find any resources on the matter). EDIT: I think we should give STV a shot. Presidential elections generally gravitate towards two- races, and senatorial elections towards three-horse races, due to people editing their ballots; why not just avoid the hassle and confusion of constantly changing votes and just have people rank their preferences? I can back either two- or three-month terms. As for term limits, I think citizens should only be allowed to hold an office for two consecutive terms; they must then wait another term before being eligible to run for that office again. Additionally, I believe we should amend our laws so that in the event that a tie occurs in an election, said tie is not automatically broken in favor of the incumbent candidate.

Seems like the senators should be trying to reach an agrement on all those issues. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I don't see how you can simultaneously hold that it's going to be difficult to find enough nations for these positions, but you support term limits. Stellonia's idea is fine. I support all changes except term limits. Edited by Imperial Maryland, Friday Jun 9 2017, 09:16 AM.
