Aye. Let the regions vote on it, since it's an amendment.

I'm noticing a trend here.

Aye.
Given the ease of post-pading, a time constraint would seem to me a legitimate way of trying to inhibit some of the problems that have come to the fore recently.

Senators, I believe it is only fair to at least give the people a say.

Given that this has been changed into a Constitutional Amendment, does it not require 7 votes, not 6?

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to oppose this bill. I hope my region follows suit in the referendum process. I would be open to 30 days however.

It required six when we only had nine people Smiley

Hmm. Not much chance to get this 'passed', but would people be more amenable to support this if lowered again from 60 to, say, 30 or 25? Since 60 is a bit excessive.

It's 15 now, correct? I really don't see what's wrong with that. I'd probably accept moving it up to 25, but that's as high as I'm willing to go. The name of this bill is deceiving, as this bill doesn't really have anything to do with voting on Atlasia, but registering.

I'm ready to introduce a Registration Reform Amendment setting it at 25.

I change my vote to Nay


Voting on this bill is coming to an end in less than 24 hours, the current tally is this:

Nays (4): Marokai Blue, Fritz, North Carolina Yankee, Tmthforu94
Ayes (4): RowanBrandon, MaxQue, Jas, Hashemite
Abstentions (1): Franzl


Afleitch is the last remaining vote before it can be closed immediately, but since this currently requires 7 Ayes to pass to the regions, passage of this Amendment is looking unlikely.

Best to kill it.

Nay.

It should be 'reborn' with amendment.

With 5 Nays, 4 Ayes, and 1 Abstention this Amendment has failed.
