Office of Northeast Chief Judicial Officer cinyc

I'm sure such a law would be gladly introduced.  The only one currently regarding write-in votes that I'm aware of would be the Vacancy filling Act, which deals with special elections.  Hopefully the Assembly can get this taken care of.

Notice of Special Northeast Election:

There is ONE vacancy in the Northeast Assembly, caused by the decision of Lt. Governor Winfield to take that post instead of his Assembly seat.  

Because I only certified the last other elected member of the Assembly today, a voting booth to fill the vacancy will be opened next Friday, July 1 at 12:00:00AM and shall remain open until the end of the day Sunday, July 3 at 11:59:59pm Eastern time.

Candidates who wish to have their name placed on the special election ballot shall declare their intention to run in the special election on the Candidate Declaration Thread before 12:00:00 Eastern time on Thursday, June 30.

cinyc, since you didn't open this at the time you said you would, does that mean the special election must be postponed for a week?

Ehh.. I'm genuinely interested, am I missing something?  

Edit:  I know the CJO holds the elections for Assembly [as granted in the constitution], I just came across this when looking up our voting statutes.

I have no problem with the voting booth.  My only concern would be the election of the Speaker.  I'm not challenging your constitutional right to act as Lt. Gov.  I'm concerned about your lawful right to break a tie for the election of Speaker. 

Regarding the Lt. Gov, there's really not a whole lot of people left to take that position.  Unless of course, you want leave the Assembly unbalanced.  I'm sure this can be taken care of, and the special election will be crucial in getting someone in who can break ties we may currently have.

Even though we all know the outcome of the Special election, the results need to be confirmed (by the end of today), so that snowstalker can take office tomorrow.  Thought I'd throw that in this thread so we're aware, even if cinyc might be unavailable at the moment.

Cinyc is back!  We were staring to get worried
