Discussion: Praetor Election Procedures

Post by Erik Mortis »

For the future, we should get an actual procedure in stone for electing the Praetor.

Right now it's completely up to the kaiser, and thus confusing.

I suggest letting all nobles vote in the election, even if they can't normally vote. That each nobles get one vote. If we have one candidate then it's a simple Aye or Nay. When we have more, I suggest a point system. First choice gets 3 points, Second get 2, and Third gets 3.

I've used this model in the past as Kaiser, and it worked well for me. And since the Praetor is in theory a rep for all the nobles, why not let them all get a say.

The Kaiser is a Noble as defined by the Charter, Dukes by the Lawbook. Barons/Lesser-Nobles are undefined I believe at this time. I would suggest we define Lesser-Nobles as nobles clearly. Counts are not Nobles. Never have been. Count is a status/position, not a title.

Since this is a discussion involving all citizens of Shireroth, some of which who do not have access to the Landsraad, AND since this isn't a vote, I shall be moving this to the front gate.

I have an amendment in mind but it might be a day or two in the making.

Actually, this only effects the Landsraad and its nobles. Not the general populace.

I've no objections to adopting Erik's ideas as law. Can you write that up in lawbook format so I can see what it'd look like in application?
