What is an Imperial level vote anyway?

I was just reading through the lawbook, and...
3. Imperial Level
a. Both males and females may vote in any vote created on the imperial level. Only non-penalized citizens may vote on the Imperial level.
b. A penalized citizen is a citizen subject to penalty under the law for a crime where their voting rights were not granted back to them.
4. Duchies and subordinate lands
a. The duchies, and the lands contained within, have the right to create their own rules, regulations, and/or ordinances for the establishment of voting rights within their realm.
We might want to re this completely, or perhaps someone could explain to me what votes on the imperial level *are*, since I'm not sure I've ever actually seen one.

I would imagine a "vote on an Imperial level" is a Shirerithian way of saying plebiscite, avoiding any nasty democratic connotations.

Mmm... I think we can keep this to at least allow for the possibility of a vote.

Given the history of Imperial level votes in this country, I feel it would be equally apt and right to keep this provision or remove it.

I'll respect the will of the Landsraad if this is ever introduced there.
