Offering this as an amendment.

[SevenEleven]

Absolutely not. 25? Holy sh*t. No. This would ruin the game as we know it.

Yeah for some more established posters it could lead to people being asked to spam just to be eligible.

I'm offering an amendment to reduce twenty-five to ten.

[SevenEleven]

Amendment is friendly, don't see any issues with it.

24 hrs to object.

I'm like an oracle, aren't I?

[SevenEleven]

24 hrs to object.

This amendment is accepted.

[SevenEleven]

We will now vote on the amendment to reduce twenty-five to ten in Section 4, Part 2.

[SevenEleven]

Aye.

[SevenEleven]

I'm fine with it. Representative FalterinArc?

[SevenEleven]

I'm fine with it. Representative FalterinArc?

Yeah amendment looks good.

Alright then. 24 hours to object.

[SevenEleven]

I object.

Unfortunately the deadline passed and the amendment has been adopted. You can introduce an amendment if you so choose.

[SevenEleven]

Ok, awaiting sponsor feedback.

Proposing an amendment

Section 4, Part 2, of the Federal Electoral Act of 2019 is amended as follows
Section 4. Voter Eligibility.
2. A registered voter shall only be eligible to vote in a federal election if they have made at least eight fifteen posts from their account in the fifty-six days (eight weeks) immediately prior to the commencement of the election.

A vote on this amendment is now open.

[SevenEleven]

Nay on the amendment.

Also, a note to Sev to clean up the numbering of the bills. I believe we have two HB 28-10s sitting on the floor at the moment, not to mention two 28-08s.

Thank you, I forgot to account for what the VP opened. Actually I guess there was a mutual error, but no big deal. Ted and I both have had a rough couple weeks.

Also voting Nay.

[SevenEleven]

The amendment fails, debate shall resume.

[SevenEleven]

Ok before I introduce an amendment to an account age requirement to post validity add I should note we have 2 bills amending the 2019 versions of the Census Act and the FEA. Should we just have 1 bill amending one and 1 bill amending the other just to make record keeping easier?

I think it should be fine, the incoming administration seems to place a high priority on record keeping so we can have footnotes on the amended laws.

[SevenEleven]

24 hours to object to the YE amendment.
