Election of a Steward

[Jonas]

With the loss of Ardy we need a new Steward. Until now Corey, Maksym and Iskander are candidates for this function.

Vote Dukes! VOTE!

[Andreas the Wise]

Er .... is it Landsraad procedure to elect a Steward with three options, or does it have to be a "Vote for Corey" thread, for example, and you approve/disprove that?

Not trying to be pedantic, just wondering ...

[Jonas]

Just voting for your favourite candidate is enough.

[Erik Mortis]

Traditionally, Landsraad election for things have been done on a rank system. Pick you 3 favorites in order. 1st choice got 3 point.. 2nd got 2 and 3rd got 1. None of Them was considered a valid option.

[Jonas]

I think, with the economic system this wouldn't work because we don't have equal votes. Just giving the name of your favourite candidate is enough.

[Erik Mortis]

Elections don't use that system. Traditionally, they used a equal footing system. Normally it wasn't an issue. But elections aren't considered a vote in the same sense as voting on a bill.

[Jonas]

I'm from the opinion it is the same.

[Prodigy Almighty]

Jonas, your way:

Yardistan votes Corey (724).

Erik's way:

1. Corey
2. Maksym
3. Iskander

[Jonas]

Kildare supports Corey (710).

[Erik Mortis]

However, an election is not a standard bill, and thus is not bound by the same rules; hell there are technically no rules for it, just tradition.

[Andreas the Wise]

So it is allowed to be whatever the Praetor declares?

[Erik Mortis]

Yes. Which I never argued against. I was just pointing out how they have been handled traditionally. And if I recall, how he was elected.

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

I think if I voted for myself this would be over by Jonas' method

*does math*

Yep,
Brookshire + Elwynn < Kildare + Yardistan + Straylight

I think I'll just hold off and try not to look like a megalomaniac...

[Andreas the Wise]

If we're going economically ... it suddenly all changed with the redistribution (which has, yes, rewarded those Duchies with more citizens a little more highly than other duchies, but that's fair).

Kildare (17550)
Yardistan (19620.05)
Are the present new values.

[Jonas]

Yes. Which I never argued against. I was just pointing out how they have been handled traditionally. And if I recall, how he was elected.

There were no other candidates...

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

*redoes math*

In that case I've already won if I give a no vote...

Therefore...

Straylight gives a no vote (13485)

[Jonas]

No! I say who has won!


Corey wins and is the new Steward! Congratulations!

[Krasniy Yastreb]

Is voting closed? If not, I add to Corey's majority with Brookshire's support (11445)

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

Well, it hasn't been moved to the Landsraad archives, so I'd assume voting is still open.

[Jonas]

No problem, it wasn't placed to the archive so you can vote.
