Reminder-Deadline to stand for election

Post by Callipygian »

Just a reminder that the deadline for candidates to declare that they are standing for election to the 19th RA, or as Chancellor, is 12 noon SLT, Wednesday May 1st. Any citizen listed on the census of April 2nd is eligible to stand for election.

There are 5 seats to be filled on the Representative Assembly and one position as Chancellor.

A vibrant democracy needs the public service of those who wish to see it thrive. At this time there are three declared candidates for RA and three declared candidates for Chancellor. Please consider running for office, or encourage those you feel would represent you well to run.

If you do decide to stand for election, your declaration must be sent by notecard to Callipygian Christensen before 12 noon SLT, Wednesday May 1st.

People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote -- a very different thing.
