I will vote present on this bill.

For those voting AYE, as a reminder, this legislation was passed in order to stave off a surge of offsite recruiting (long considered the third rail of Atlasia), which nearly destroyed this game and is largely responsible for mostly killing it.

How is offsite recruiting causing the activity problem?

Eligibility Adjustment Act

Five not voting. Five.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Five not voting. Five.

Not that I particularly mind them being closed early but the following is worth noting:

Article 6: Final Votes
1.) Final Votes and veto overrides votes shall last for a maximum of 4 days (i.e. 96 hours). A final vote may be ended earlier than 96 hours:

a. If the vote has a majority to pass or fail, then the Presiding officer may call 24 hours for Senators to vote or change their votes.

b. If all Senators have voted and the result is unanimous for or against, then the Presiding Officer may end the vote immediately.

2.) If a bill has been vetoed, a Senator has 96 hours to motion for a veto override. A two-thirds majority of the members of the Senate is needed in order to override a veto.

3.) If a redraft is presented, the original sponsor shall have 96 hours after it is offered to accept the redraft or reject it and request an override. If the redraft is rejected by the Senate, the sponsor may then either motion to resume debate on the bill or withdraw the bill from the floor. If the original sponsor shall have left the chamber, the presiding officer shall allow for someone to assume sponsorship as with a normal bill, with the 96 hours commencing after it is completed.

4.) Veto Override and Redraft proceedings shall not be conducted in a slot and thus not subjected to any limits on the amount of legislation on the floor, but shall be conducted in their original threads.

We shouldn't get in the habit of closing votes with sub majority support over 30 hours before they are suppose to end.
