A new day is upon us, and that means that it's time for a new voter registration thread :/

To smooth things out, here are when the next elections for each seat are, if all goes according to plan:

(DCHERO's seat will get about an extra week in their term, but it's literally just to finish the stagger to reset it to the end of the month.)

Additionally, for the benefit of everyone, I will try my best to post the election at the latest possible time, that is, 11:59:59pm GMT (or 6:59:59pm EST) on the day listed. This way, you'll be able to register on the last registration date listed, without any worry whether your vote will be counted or not, because the date listed will be the date you need.

Specific's Easy Three Step Guide to Get Voter Eligibility

1. To gain voter eligibility, take a screenshot at the Voter Tree (-6700, 3000). Make sure you show the registration sign and your coordinates within the picture.
2. Upload anywhere you like, and when you comment, include your username in the post.
3. Once you comment, your voter registration remains valid until your post is 30 days old. To renew, do the above steps before your voter registration expires every month.

Quick Reminders: You're able to vote for bills three days after you register, but for elections seven days. (Article I, § A.iv; Article I, § B.ii)

Article I. Voting

A. Voting Eligibility and Registration

i. Public record of voter registration

a. Prior to any election, or when called for by any citizen, a voter registration thread shall be posted on the subreddit. The thread title must begin with [Voter Registration].

b. An elected Judge must confirm the thread as being an official voter registration thread within forty-eight (48) hours and close the previous registration thread if it has not been done so already. An elected Judge must also close registration before the thread is 30 days old.

c. Judges are responsible for investigating and deciding on eligibility. Should an individual judge’s decision be called into question, a majority vote of standing judges suffices to decide the matter. Should a majority be unreachable, the Mayor, acting as final arbiter, will issue a binding resolution without opportunity for appeal.

d. The public record shall consist of, for each registered voter, their in-game name, their Reddit account, the date on which the period of registration of an individual began or begins, and the date on which it ends. This record shall be contained within the most recent [Voter Registration] thread, copied from the previous most recent thread.

e. To assist in verifying voter eligibility, a publicly accessible sign must be maintained, reinforced, placed on a reinforced block, accessible for modification only by the Mayor and the current Judges, and shall contain the current date, updated no less than weekly. The location of this sign must be posted within each Voter Registration thread, and once set should not be moved unless absolutely necessary.

ii. Survivability of voter registration

a. For a citizen meeting the voting eligibility requirements, once voting registration is confirmed it shall survive for thirty (30) days following confirmation.

b. Registered voters meeting voter eligibility requirements may re-confirm their voter registration in a [Voter Registration] thread. The renewal comes into effect immediately upon re-confirmation.

c. After thirty (30) days of last registration confirmation, a citizen’s voting registration ends.

iii. Requirements for voter eligibility

a. Must own or rent a renovated piece of land, building, or shop within the borders of Mt. Augusta. Fulfilling this requirement is sufficient to gain citizenship in Mount Augusta.

b. Must not have outstanding (convicted but unserved or unpearled) criminal convictions made by the Mt. Augusta justice system.

c. Must be able to attest to online activity by posting a screenshot of the eligibility sign,** specified in Article I Section A i. e.,** showing a date within the last two (2) weeks.

d. Must not be currently banned from Mount Augusta's current host server.

iv. Gaining voter registration

a. A citizen meeting voting eligibility requirements, who is currently not a registered voter, will gain voter registration three (3) days after posting proof of activity on an active [Voter Registration] thread, as outlined by Article I Section A iii. c. a. The individual must fulfill the requirements outlined by Article I Section A iii. for the entire period of three (3) days for voter registration to be granted.

v. Mayor as final arbiter in voter eligibility

a. In all disputes concerning voter eligibility that cannot be resolved by the judges, the Mayor is the final arbiter, with no opportunity for further appeal

b. If there are no Judges current appointed, the Mayor shall assume all duties of Judge as defined in Article I, Section A until Judges are appointed.

This following list contains all currently registered voters (with duplicates) at the time of posting. I will update it as the time goes by.
