Hello all,

Following the resignation of myself and /u/Youmaton, we now need to fill the vacancies of Head Moderator and Election Moderator. As the vote for Parliament Moderator and Community Moderator has not yet been conducted, we will be merging the process of electing those positions and the two new vacancies.

All candidates for Parliament Moderator and Community Moderator on the previous thread who reached the required amount of seconders will be on this ballot unless they request otherwise.

Head Moderator

The Head Moderator is described under Section 45 of the Meta Constitution;

The Head Moderator shall be responsible for all aspects of the community, and for the oversight of the operations of the community.

If required, the Head Moderator has full jurisdiction to fulfill any of the actions that would regularly be conducted by any other member of the Moderation Team.

The Head Moderator will serve as the head of the Moderation Team.

The Election Moderator is described under Section 46 of the Meta Constitution;

The Election Moderator shall be responsible for activity under chapters 3 and 4 of this Constitution.

The Election Moderator shall serve as the head of the Electoral Commission, and be deemed the canon Electoral Commissioner.

Nomination Details

Nominations for the position will be taken from now until 12 pm Monday 9 September 2019 (Canberra time).

A person is eligible to be nominated if they have ever been an MP, Senator, Justice, Clerk, Governor-General, President or Moderator in AustraliaSim.

A person may self-nominate or be nominated by another person. Nominations must be made as top-level comments in this thread.

A person who is self-nominated or is nominated by another person must affirm that they will be bound by the Meta Constitution and will act as a Moderation Team member, as well as their nominated position if appointed.

A nomination must be specific as to which position the nominee is specifying.

A nomination must be supported by 4 people (including the nominator, if any) who are also eligible to be nominated, by replying to the nomination.

A public vote will be held on Tuesday 10 September 2019. The public vote will ask for voters to vote for or against each candidate, then ask for voters to rank each candidate preferentially. The winning candidate for each position will then be deemed elected, provided that the candidate is also supported by two-thirds or more of voters.

The winning candidates will be put to the general administrative team and, if approved, be installed as their respective moderator position. A person appointed to the moderation team must cease all canon engagement, including as an MP or Senator or media roles. If a winning candidate is an MP or Senator, the appointment can be arranged to take effect when Parliament is next dissolved, to avoid a by-election.
