SB 29-20: Regional Registration Act (Tabling Vote)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Does this remove the one free move for new people or is that already gone prior to this?

This is a good question; I'll try and find out as I'm not unsure where this was actually codified.

Did this ever get checked?

From when I checked I was 90% sure people still get a free move; but I can't work out what law this was included in.

From my reading of it, the wording being eliminated here in this bill is probably what allows for it though it doesn't explicitly say so it is somewhat implied.

If a voter has been registered in more than one region...

I'm not sure I'd want to remove the right for new players to have one free move

Its more an accident of the wording switch. So it could be restored by giving an explicit exception for new players as such.

Honestly, you should just live where you live irl. I don't understand why people want to strategically register. It's pathetic.

When I joined this wasn't possible as England wasn't available- and it still feels stupid to move after being in the Northeast for so long.

I'm happy with this but would rather not draft the wording- I know my own strengths and election regulations here are not one of them!

How about something like, "Newly registered players shall be able to make one move within the first week of registration" or something along those lines?

Section 4. Regional Elections.

1. No regional-administered election shall admit as eligible voters any person having resided in any other region within the fifty-six days prior to the commencement of the election.

2. In addition, no subregional senate election shall admit as eligible voters any person having resided in any other region within the fifty-six days prior to the commencement of the election.

It often helps to take a step back and consider other legislation.

The next constitution's wording doesn't really allow for a free move.

We could amend it in here, but it would just be overruled in July.

So, based on what I posted above, where does that leave us with the underlying bill then?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So motion to table then?

Do I have a second?
