Southeast Regional Election - February 2010

[Brandon H]

Voting in the February 2010 Southeast Initiative Referendum shall begin at 1:00am EST / 12:00am Midnight CST Friday February 19 and shall conclude at 12:59am Monday February 22 EST / 11:59pm Sunday February 21 CST. Voting shall be conducted under Southeast Voting Regulations.

Voting for Governor and Lt. Governor use Approval Voting so you can vote for as many candidates as you like (including write-ins). The order the candidates are listed in does not make a difference. Any character inside the [ ] shall count as a vote.

A voter's ballot is valid only if the voter:

(a) is registered with the Atlasian Secretary of Forum Affairs as a voter of a Southeastern state during the entire time that the poll is open;
(b) makes only a single post in that election thread;
(c) does not edit or delete a post after the next post has been made; and
(d) clearly identifies the contest in which a vote is intended to be applied.

Regular Initiatives require a simple majority to pass; Constitutional Amendments require a two thirds majority to pass.
