That's what I figured. From what I can find, he stops being a senator the day he is banned, but the 21 day thing. I will have to remove him from the list of candidates, and, since he's banned, I can not accept write-ins for him either.

At least that's what I've been able to figure.

Ok, so it seems that alea jacta est...

Also, Rowan dropped out if I well understood.

A reminder, if anyone wants to be listed under more than one party, they need to contact me (post here or PM me) to let me know, and, the party needs to contact me (post here or PM me) to confirm this is true.

The same applies if a party wishes to bar someone from running on their tag, but, only the party need to contact me in this case.

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=120461.msg2573768#msg2573768 update to this post to prevent confusion next time. I will also do this kind of update to the calendar moving forward.

So the election is tomorrow ?

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Yes. Balloting begins in 40 hours or so.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

This election is held in accordance with Article V of the third and current Constitution and with the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act.  The regular election begins at 23:59 EDT, Thursday, December 9th, and ends at 23:59 EDT, Sunday, December 12th.

DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE THE POST CONTAINING YOUR BALLOT IN ANY WAY AFTER 20 MINUTES OF ITS BEING POSTED OR YOUR VOTE WILL BE INVALIDATED

The act of campaigning within the election booth is strictly forbidden and will render void any votes made by those who campaign. The act of campaigning is considered to include, but is not limited to, strong attempts to compel others either to vote or not to vote for one or multiple candidates, or other related activities that could reasonably be construed as a direct attempt to influence how future voters cast their ballots. In other words, this is not a discussion thread. In short, the department will be taking a liberal interpreation of this, so Keep posts to votes only.

Place the numbers 1, 2, etc. in the space provided beside the candidates who you wish to vote for to designate your order of preference for these candidates.  If any other mark or attempt to order the candidates is made, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to deduce voter intent from the content of the ballot, but the warning must be issued that failure to follow the above instructions may result in the invalidation of your ballot in the event of an inability to discern voter intent.  You are an eligible voter in general if you were registered to vote on or before the proper date, and if you made 15 posts in any location within the Atlas Forum in the 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the regular election. In other words, if your name appears on the Census list, you can presume you are elegible.  
 
In the event that you do not support any listed candidate or that you support one or many candidates that are not listed in addition to those that are, you may write in other candidates and include them in your list of preferences.  Space is provided for one such write-in, but as many can be listed as you wish.  In the event that you do not support any listed candidate, and do not wish to write in any candidate, you may place an X or a 1 beside "None of the above", and only beside "None of the above".  In the event that an X or a 1 appears beside "None of the above" on a ballot, all other marks or numbers will be ignored.  It is not permissible under current election law to vote for both "None of the above" and other candidates.

Note that voting begins NOW and ends in exactly 72 hours.

Names of candidates follow in alphabetical order.

The above is a sample ballot. I welcome feedback.

[Purple State]

Sooo many candidates. Have fun counting this one.

Don't highlight the space after the party abbreviation.

So does voting begin now or at 11:59 PM?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Actually, there have already been more or the same number or almost the same number of candidates. The idea that this election is particularly overcrowded isn't as evident as it may seem.

I will check in prior to the election; if I fail to check in between now and 11:58pm, I'd ask another authorized person to post this.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I'm back, and will post the ballot at the proper time.
