It is fairly common practice for PPTs to open a whole bunch of final votes at once. If, say, eleven of them get opened as part of a single vote-a-rama, should they count as consecutive?

Well, if so then a senator might be expelled for missing what is functionally a single vote.

The issue we want to fix is a senator being inactive enough to miss enough votes to be visibly neglecting their duties, but given the vast fluctuations possible in how active Senate business is at a given time it doesn't seem fair to peg it to just number of votes. Retaining the three-week provision was fine, just add something like

Quote
A Senator misses ten or more consecutive final votes or all final votes in three consecutive weeks, whichever number of final votes is higher, unless the Senator has posted a valid Leave of Absence in either the Atlasia Elections or Atlasia Government threads.
