Party Lists and Candidates

Preliminary party lists must be submitted before midday on the 13th of January. These lists no not need to be ordered (although you might as well). After this deadline, no new candidates may be added to the party list, however, you can arrange the order anyway you like until midday on the 19th of January. Please note that I will politely ignore all of your rearrangements until roughly midday on Sunday, so please just submit a final list on the day. I will remind you about it on the last day of campaigning.

Only nominations submitted by party leaders will be accepted as party nominations. List and electorate candidacies must be from the same party (and people cannot contest an electorate as an independent and be on a party's list). Independents may submit their own candidacies. Independents and unregistered parties cannot contest the party list.

Electorates

There will be 15 electorates. Parties may stand only one candidate in each electorate (duh).

Endorsements

Each party will have one list post to use for endorsements. In this post they will list the candidates they are endorsing.

Post Limits

Electorate-only candidates (including independents) have two electorate posts per day
List-only candidates have two list posts per day
Electorate list candidates have three posts per day; one electorate, one list and one that can be either

Two designated people in each party (a leader and deputy leader, two co-leaders, whoever) will have one additional list post each day. This post may be given out to any other member of the party (except for the other designated person, or whoever is using the other post)

Each party will have one additional list post for their manifesto and another for their endorsements.

Flairing and labelling posts

Each of the four different types of post have their own flair. Electorate posts should be flaired with their respective electorate flair. Regular list post should be flaired "list", while additional posts should be "additional list". Manifestos and endorsements should be flaired with "manifesto" and "endorsement".
Each post should be labelled either at the bottom or in a comment clearly saying which campaign day the post is from (either "Day 1" or "monday" or "14th Jan") and which post it is ("first/second list/electorate post", "electorate/either/list post", "additional post given by deputy leader").
