PRELIMINARY PRESIDENTIAL REGISTRY ENDS ON OCTOBER 18th, 2021.
Selection & Voting Process
After the current President of Earth was forced to resign after quite the saucy scandal, the world was left without a clear leader for some time. Stirring tensions in the wars on other planets have left Earthlings uneasy, looking for guidance in the murky waters ahead. Consequently, elections have been called! Election week is (*tentatively) scheduled from December 1st to December 7th, during which time players can vote. However, in order to run, candidates must first pass a preliminary election. Get your names in, prepare your cheesy campaign slogans, and be prepared to charm your way to the top! The preliminary choices will be decided and locked in on October 10th, one week after this announcement. You have until then to apply for candidacy!Please remember, this is just for fun! Don’t bring real-life politics and such into this. Keep everything grounded firmly and fitting within the realm of Dragon Ball.
How it Will Work
The first step in the election process will be for candidates to submit applications. A handful, anywhere from two to four candidates will be chosen from this group based on eligibility and plot developments, as well as on consistency and community presence via private staff pick. It should be noted that any staff members who put their character up for candidacy forfeit their say in the selection process. Once selected, these candidates are considered as having passed a primary round of elections, and are entered into the general election that will be determined by none other than you, the players!When players submit their vote, they select two candidates. Their primary vote, as well as their second-choice. The primary vote will award two points, while the second-choice selection of one point is intended to prevent a tie between the two leading candidates. However, votes are in-character. Your votes will be submitted to a future thread where upon you will explain your character’s motive for choosing their particular leader-of-choice. Though there isn’t likely to be any trouble from this, staff retain the right to invalidate votes that are deemed to be the result of OOC corruption.When the smoke clears, the one with the most votes will be the new President!
