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

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 ...

Just voting for your favourite candidate is enough.

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.

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.

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.

I'm from the opinion it is the same.

Jonas, your way:
Yardistan votes Corey (724).
Erik's way:
1. Corey
2. Maksym
3. Iskander

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.

So it is allowed to be whatever the Praetor declares?

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.

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...

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.

*redoes math*
In that case I've already won if I give a no vote...
Therefore...
Straylight gives a no vote (13485)

Corey wins and is the new Steward! Congratulations!

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

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

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