So the first attempt tied. Now we got only the two front-runners left.

Article I. Voting

B. Conduct of Popular Vote

ii. Election Threads

a. Where an election for an official state position is concerned; after the end of that position's term, the resignation of the holder of that position, the recall of the holder of that position, a post on the Mt. Augusta subreddit publicizing any of these events, or calling for an election for a position currently empty, shall begin the election process for that position.

b. Eligibility Thread - A Voter Eligibility thread must be called. Campaigning may run concurrent to this thread.

e. Election Thread - At the conclusion of the debate period, another thread shall be posted with "[Election]" in the title. The thread body must include: an explanation of the position with its associated powers and responsibilities and a list of candidates with Reddit usernames and in-game names. All persons who applied for eligibility to vote no less than 7 days prior to the posting of the [Election] thread now have 48 hours to choose their candidate by posting a reply to the election thread, including a rank-ordered list of any number of candidates, with their most preferred first, and their least preferred last.. Voters may change or withdraw their vote at any time before the election ends, provided it is announced clearly in the same fashion as the original vote. In the voting election thread, only votes shall be commented on the post.

f. Conclusion of Election - Once the election ends, votes must be counted as accurately as possible and ineligible votes disqualified. The results must be documented and publicized on the subreddit. Candidates are assigned ballots by the ballots' first choices. The candidate with the majority (>50%) of ballots wins the election. If no candidate meets this requirement, then the candidate or candidates with the fewest ballots is/are dropped and their ballots are redistributed to those ballots' next-choice candidates, if any. This process repeats until some candidate receives a majority of ballots and wins the election. If the last two candidates are tied, new run-off elections will be held again for only these last two candidates until one of them wins or drops out.

B. The Mayor's Powers

i. The Mayor will have the responsibility of adding bills that have passed to the Constitution and keeping it up to date during their term.
