(Feb 1, May 1, Aug 1, Nov 1) The election process is simple. Prior to the elections there will be thread made in the "Announcements" section of the forum where you will "nominate" yourself for a certain position. You go in there and you post "I nominate myself for say Minister of Finance." When the elections take place, people will choose between other members who have nominated themselves for a position.

Propositions by the Prime Minister don't have to go through the voting process either but do require an approval from the Advisory Council. In the case of an undecided poll, Advisory Council reserves the right to make the decision. Advisory Council and Prime Minister reserve the right to veto any amendments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amendment I A member may only hold one office at a time. If a member wins more than one election, he/she must choose which position to hold and the remaining position will go to the next highest vote getter. If an election is tied, there will be a runoff.
