Firslty, I'd like to apologize for interlacing this with the current vote for NEA chair, but I feel that this is brought up at an appropriate time (will be explained bellow). I'd also like to acknowledge that this will not affect the current vote, but is somewhat relevant.
So currently, I feel like our current voting system has flaws and lacks definition. We met problems during our last vote, and looking at the current circumstances with the current vote, I foresee potential problems with the results of the current vote. The reason why I feel that this should be addressed now is that I want to fix the system as soon as possible to minimize time that could potentially be wasted, and certainly, I don't want to see it prolonging the election process. Anyways, without any further ado -
The Proposed Procedure for Voting
Before issuing a vote, a proposal must be made outlining some details including what the vote is on, when the vote will happen, and how long the vote will last, as deemed appropriate by the proposer. Following the proposal, NEA members will then be able to discuss the issue on hand, details of the vote, and/or provide general support. If there are signs of support and no objections to the vote, then the vote will carry on as proposed.
During the vote, all member states will be eligible for one vote. States can choose to support, oppose, or abstain. In order for a bill to be passed, supermajority vote is required ( >66% support). A bill is denied if at least 50% of the votes oppose of it. In the case that a member state does not vote, they will be factored out of the equation. In the case that a bill is neither passed nor denied, the bill will again be open to discussion, and then a revote will have to take place at a later date. If the issue voted on does not pass on its second try (with supermajority at 66%), then it will be denied.
In electoral votes - in cases with multiple candidates, all candidates will be voted on, and the two candidates who receive the most votes will be moved into a final vote. Each member state will then cast their votes again, and the person who receives majority vote (>50%) gets elected.
I propose to instate a vote on this matter starting Monday, September 1st, 4PM GMT, and remain open until Saturday, September 6th, 4PM. Post if you support or have questions/concerns/suggestions here.
