1580 Nyland Federal Elections
For President and Half the Legislature
15 Vintyr 1580
Party Voting is CLOSED
Presidential Voting is CLOSED
>>> CLICK HERE TO VOTE <<<
Welcome to the 1580 Elections! We have a very important election this time around, but when are they not: not only are half of the legislature's seats open, the Presidency is up for grabs again! Last election saw the yellow banner of liberalism lowered from the gates of the Assembly and the White House after more than two continuous decades in power, as Tilda Morgen and a Center/Left coalition gained control of the government. Will Morgen's record in office convince the people that she's deserving of a second term? Will the growing voices of reaction and nationalism continue to grow into power, as the country - and the world - grows more polarized?
As always when we have both a presidential and legislative voting year, voting will take place in two phases:
Party Voting will start when Sal and I return from Iceland (about the 14th or 15th), and run until the end of 1580. Everyone will have TWO votes to split between all parties; yes, this is a major change from the normal procedure of three votes, but I'm still juggling things to see what the "best" system is. A list of all registered parties, and links to their information can be found below, and may also be found within the vote itself. If you don't see any parties that fit your ideals, you like, or want to create your own just for the heck of it, then you can come to this thread and set one up! If you're curious about the makeup of the past term's legislature, you can see that at the veeeeeery bottom of this post.
Current Seats Affected by This Election
Nyland Liberalists : 53 open seats
Progressive Conservative Party : 31 open seats
Florinthian Liberal Union : 6 open seats
Nylander Popular Alliance : 38 open seats
Against All!: 5 open seats
Nyland Greens : 37 open seats
Ultranationalist Party : 39 open seats
New Centrist List : 40 open seats
National Messanic Party : 16 open seats
PRESIDENTIAL voting will happen closer to the end of the year, most likely the beginning/middle of Treizen, to give candidates enough time to be brought forward and seen by the public; if you would like to put forth a candidate, see the form below. Remember, anyone who wins the election will be the President of Nyland, and the person who put forth that person as president will essentially be "in control" of the direction the country will take! You get one vote for presidents, but this vote will be a ranking of your top three or four picks, depending on the number of candidates available. A list of candidates is below, as well.
Let the elections commence! Feel free to make IC posts regarding the elections, from campaigning to news, if you so desire.

Quote:This is a thread for the 1580 elections in Nyland. The Presidency is contested, and half the legislature's seats are up for grabs. Actual in-context, rp voting takes place in Vintyr, but I'm starting the thread now because I won't be here for two weeks, and I want to make sure this gets up. I will give notification to when voting opens later.
