Two proposed meta rules amendments are to be voted on.

The first is the Electoral Commission amendment.

This amendment creates a system similar to AustraliaSim, where people publicly apply to register a party and the Electoral Commission releases approval or rejection of parties publicly. It helps to clarify what the Electoral Commission decides and what they do, especially with the publishing of a statement of reasons.

Note that the subreddit /r/ModelNZEC is taken, so this will have to be changed to /r/ModelNZEC2 if we implement the change. I have reserved the latter subreddit.

The second proposal is the Better Activity Checks amendment.

This changes the activity rules so that they're not as stringent, they don't include MPs who can't make all votes, and don't include SOPs (which have in the past been abused to increase net activity).

Vote here and verify below:
