Is Wulfric a carpetbagger?

[Continential]

Wulfric announced his candidacy for the Northeast subregional seat, while living in the Great Lakes subregional seat, and he moved to New Hampshire after the 5th Constitution passed the house. Seeing as he moved to run for senate, and he announced his candidacy for senate in th Northeast subregion beforehand, this should be a question.

His move wouldn't allow him to be an eligible voter in the Northeast for the election.

Section 4. Regional Elections.

1. No regional-administered election shall admit as eligible voters any person having resided in any other region within the fifty-six days prior to the commencement of the election.

2. In addition, no subregional senate election shall admit as eligible voters any person having resided in any other region within the fifty-six days prior to the commencement of the election.

^Yes, he cannot vote in the race under the 5th constitution. However, unless something in Lincoln has passed stating otherwise, he can still run in the race.

Um, guys ...

2. In addition, no subregional senate election shall admit as eligible voters any person having resided in any other region within the fifty-six days prior to the commencement of the election.

Wulfric did not change regions when he moved to New Hampshire, so he is still eligible to vote in the Northeast.

context, I think, makes it legally clear that the reference there is to subregions. Otherwise the clause would just be repeating the previous clause (which applies to both regional and subregional elections).

Regardless, will be amended before the elections happen anyway.

Lincoln has not passed any legislation relating to subregions at this stage and I do not see anything in the text of the third Lincoln constitution that establishes any prohibition on my candidacy.

And indeed, according to the current text of the fifth constitution, there is nothing prohibiting me from voting as I did not switch regions.

So we have to go to the polls three times in four weeks now? Once to approve the current text of the 5th Constitution (which I believe has already passed the congress and so cannot be amended until after ratification), once to approve this amendment, and then for the June Elections? LMAO

Your context argument...maybe it will work, maybe it won't. According to the current plain language of the 5th Constitution, my run is perfectly legal. And if for some reason I cannot run in June, I'm definitively legal to run in August, so all you're really doing is postponing my candidacy by 2 short months.

Good thing this thread was created.
