DON'T VOTE EARLY!I'm out of town this week, so I'm posting this early. Please don't vote until noon on Thursday.
Voting will begin Thursday, July 30th, at 12:00 P.M. EDT and will end precisely 72 hours later. Editing your vote after 20 minutes after posting or campaigning in the thread will invalidate your vote. Any votes cast before the ballot opens will not count.

2. All candidates for electoral office in the Mideast Region shall be qualified to vote in the Mideast Region.
3. Voters shall be allowed to edit their ballots within 20 minutes of posting their original ballot or until the official end time of voting, whichever comes first.
