For the sale of exactness, let's all look at the By-Laws.
APPROVED BY-LAWS:
Endorsement and Primary Procedure
1. All Labor party members are automatically endorsed by the party, except for the following situations
in which there will be a Labor Party Primary:
a. If there are more Labor party members running than open spots in a given election, then we have a
primary.
b. A Labor party member is a party of a cross party ticket for President or Governor, then we will
also have a primary.
c. A Labor party member lost a primary and proceeded to run as a independent.
2. In the event there are multiple Labor party members vying for the same seat, a primary will be held
to determine who receives endorsement.
a. Primaries will take place 3 weeks before the respective election.
b. Voting will last for 72 hours.
c. The loser is strongly encouraged not to run as an independent, as doing so will result in losing
a position in the Politburo, not being allowed to run in primaries or receive the party’s
endorsement in the subsequent 3 Federal elections.
3. Non Endorsements
a. If there are not enough Labor Party members running for a given election, we will then endorse
candidates from other parties, in order for our party to have endorsed the same number of candidates
as openings.
b. Endorsement elections will take place 3 weeks before the respective election.
c. In order to receive the endorsement of the Labor Party, the candidate from the other party has to
declare that he or she wishes to receive or party’s endorsement at least 24 hours before the
endorsement election takes place.
d. Voting will last for 72 hours.
4. Convention Endorsements
a. Convention endorsements will follow the same procedures as regular endorsements, except it takes
place during the convention.
b. The only endorsements decided upon during a convention will be the upcoming Federal Elections for
President and Senate.
