After conferring with the three factions who have candidates standing for election for the CDS Representative Assembly, on their preferred times, we will hold a faction debate tomorrow, Sunday 11 January 2009, at 07h00 SLT at the Colonia Nova Amphitheatre.
Basic elections information can be found in the CDS Voting Guide v3.0 here: http://portal.slcds.info/index.php?id=election_guide
The list of qualified candidates on the ballot can be found here: http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2253
The polls are open, as anoucned in-world today, and remain open for one week until noon SLT, next Saturday.
To repeat announcements made in-world: Each voting citizen must come in-world to one of our four traditional sim hubs to use a voting booth; or if they cannot, arrange for 'absentee' web voting with Jon Seattle, as specified here on the CDS Forums, and in Rose Springvale's C.D.S. group message this morning.
With the consent of those participating, I will moderate the debate, and one speaker from each of the three active factions will participate. (Tentatively, they're expected to be Symo Kurka from SP, Sonja Strom from DPU and Arria Perrault from CSDF.) Our usual ground rules will apply, and are described here: http://forums.slcds.info//viewtopic.php ... 787#p11047

Best of luck to all. JP
