These relevant laws are as follows.
As Allot said before,Lawbook - Chapter IV : The Landsraad wrote: C. 1. a. The Prætor of Shireroth may only be elected by the nobility of the land from among the Full-Citizens of the Land.
Imperial Chater - Artical III: The Landsraad - Section D: The Praetor wrote: a. The Prætor of Shireroth may only be elected by the nobility of the Shireroth, from among the full-citizens of the Shireroth. The Prætor does not have to be a Noble of Shireroth. The Kaiser shall manage the election of the Prætor by the Landsraad, and shall act as Prætor of the Landsraad until one is immediately elected.
My problem arises from the convoluted definition of a "Noble":Procedures of the Landsraad - E. The Praetor wrote: 1. The Praetor is appointed in accordance with the Imperial Charter and Lawbook, and has the rights and obligations established therein.
Imperial Chater - Artical III: The Landsraad - Section C: Members of the Landsraad wrote: a. The Landsraad shall consist of the Nobles of Shireroth.
Procedures of the Landsraad - A. Members of the Landsraad wrote: 1. Membership in the Landsraad is determined in accordance with the Imperial Charter and includes only those with votes to cast.
It is obvious that these three clash significantly since the charter relies on the definition of the lawbook (which is outdated as it only includes the dukes) and the Proceedures then (through implication) defines a noble as someone who can vote which, in turn, contradicts the charter...Lawbook - Chapter II. Subdivision - B. Nobles wrote: 1. Duchies shall be ruled by a Noble known as a Duke or Duchess.
In any case the point I was trying to make is that only nobles with votes in the big fat vote thread can vote on the elections just like any other vote. Im not quite sure why its been done any differently.
If I have misinterpreted or missed something please tell me since my brain is kinda exploding right now....
