[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Sure, why not. Running for FT-01.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

It’s time for me to be the Deep South sacrificial lamb again!

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Sure, why not. Running for FT-01.

I don't think you're allowed to run for Parliament, FM, and Senator all at the same time in Frémont.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Sure, why not. Running for FT-01.

I don't think you're allowed to run for Parliament, FM, and Senator all at the same time in Frémont.

So it looks like Peebs can run for Parliament and either FM or Senator, but not both?

The bill makes it clear that you can run for only one office, unless I’m mistaken.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Yeah, my interpretation of the law is that you can only run for one office. Part of the reason we changed the rules is that people were using Parliament as an office to fall back on if they lose another election (and that inevitably resulted in many vacancies).

The way it reads implies "one office, unless..."

provided that they are not candidates for more than one (1) election, Regional or Federal, that occurs on the same weekend

So this part is basically "In general, one candidacy only"

except if a candidate for the House of Commons should also be a candidate (excluding write-in candidacies) for another office under this commonwealth or the Republic of Atlasia (other than the presidency or vice presidency)

This part seems to modify the previous to state that a House of Commons candidate can run for one, and only one, other office, as long as said other office is not the presidency or vice presidency.

This does seem to be how it's been enforced previously: https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=494795.0 (Peebs is a candidate for HoC and only one other office)

Hmm. I'm inclined to agree; thanks for clarifying.

Peebs can run for either senator or First Minister in addition to Parliament, but not both.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

sh**t. Then I'm withdrawing from FM and FT-01 and simply running as a write in.

Scott literally said you could stay on the ballot for one of those plus parliament^^

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Oh. That's on me for skimming. I'm still running for FM, then; Scott's inevitable refusal to partake in Dreadnought theocracy irks me more than WestDem's stated refusal to force the South to enact CBD.

[Pericles]

Dropping out because WD didn't need to draft me after all.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I will run for another term representing the Upper South in the Atlasian Senate.

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

I'll run for reelection

It should be obvious but so clarity's sake, reelection as Senator for the Deep South.

[Continential]

Since there isn't any other candidates running in FT-02 aside from AFE, I'll be the token opposition candidate there.

[OSR stands with Israel]

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]
