FT 19.03 Amendment to the Electoral Procedures 2.0 Act (Statute)

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

I agree with the intent of this bill. It needs to be worded differently, however, because as written it inadvertently deletes guidelines for ballot access in races for Senate and first minister. If the member from Nevada is amenable I would propose the following amendment.

vii. All such candidates as shall have met the requirements imposed by Article V of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Fremont, and being eligible to hold the office for which they are a candidate, shall be included on the sample ballot, except if a candidate for the House of Commons should also be a candidate for another office under this commonwealth or the Republic of Atlasia in an election which occurs the same weekend, in which case they should not be included.

Invoking my ministerial prerogative to modify the language of the adopted amendment, because stylistically I really hate the phrase "on-ballot candidate." This does not change the substance of the proposal.

vii. All such candidates as shall have met the requirements imposed by Article V of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Fremont, and being eligible to hold the office for which they are a candidate, shall be included on the sample ballot, 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) in an election which occurs the same weekend, in which case they should not be included.
