The Official Thread of Lincoln

With the resignation of Maxwell, not only will the Northern Assembly have to vote on a replacement Speaker, the North will also have to hold a special election next weekend in order to replace Maxwell's Assembly position. So if any Northern citizen is interested then they can run.

Nobody announced, but I'll just appoint it since I'm allowed to do that if nobody announces by Friday.

It appears that we now have one announced candidate.

If I'm interpreting the ballot correctly, the name change wouldn't affect the Northern Constitution, so it doesn't require a 60% threshold.  Unless all referenda must be passed with 60% support?

Article 5, Section 11 of the Constitution:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

So technically, the Constitutional amendments don't even need 60%, but rather a simple majority.
