Southern Legislation Introduction Thread - 2018

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Special Elections Act

Be it enacted:

1.) If any member of the Chamber of Delegates resigns from office, is recalled, or ascends to another elected office 30 days or more prior to the next regularly scheduled legislative election, a special election shall be scheduled for exactly nine days after.

     a. This special election shall follow the established rules of regularly scheduled legislative elections, with the exception that candidacies may be declared from the creation of the vacancy until before the second day prior to the election.

2.) This shall take effect immediately upon approval by the signature of the Governor of the South.

Could this be amended to just change the entire dates of Southern elections? Because right now, they're way off of the national calendar and it really depresses turnout. Sorry if this thread isn't the right place to respond to the proposal, just wanted to give my thoughts.

Southern Elections Act of 2018

Be it enacted:

1.) Elections for Governor of the Southern Region and Southern Chamber of Delegates will take place concurrently with federal midterm elections.

2.) If any member of the Chamber of Delegates resigns from office, is recalled, or ascends to another elected office 30 days or more prior to the next regularly scheduled legislative election, a special election shall be scheduled for exactly nine days after.

     a. This special election shall follow the established rules of regularly scheduled legislative elections, with the exception that candidacies may be declared from the creation of the vacancy until before the second day prior to the election.

3.) This shall take effect immediately upon approval by the signature of the Governor of the South.


This is a very rough draft. I'm debating whether this should go into effect immediately, or not until after the next Southern elections. What are everyone's thoughts?
