Election Results

[comrade_general]

I propose that in the future we make it standard practice to keep election results hidden until the voting period is over.

[Jubal]

I concur. 

Also, should we permit people to switch their vote whilst the poll is in operation? We have the ability to do that and if we're writing a bill clarification on that might be good too. (So say it's 7 days starting Mon: I vote on Monday, then on Wednesday decided I'd rather abstain from voting for Spatharios or whatever, I could do so, such that votes are only definitely finalised when the poll ends).

[comrade_general]

Yeah that sounds okay.

[Cuddly Khan]

I agree, sounds awesome!

[Scarlet]

I agree that both changing your vote throughout voting period and keeping the voting secret  are good ideas.

And certainly keep it secret if votes can be changed.

[Cuddly Khan]

That's exactly what I said but in a lot more words.

[Jubal]

Do I need to write this as a bill, or can someone else have a go? 

On that note, should I write a "how to write motions" guide?

[comrade_general]

I can write the guide.


How to Write Motions

by comrade_general

Okay, just put what you want to motion in asterisks, like so: *waves hello*.

And that's it.


In all seriousness isn't it the Seb's job to write bills?

[Othko97]

I'm pretty sure anybody can write a motion, maybe it's the Seb's job to actually implement it if one passes?

[Jubal]

Othko is correct here. It's the Seb's job to implement bills and help people who want to write them; it would also be expected that if the Seb has a personal or party manifesto they write the necessary bills to do the things they said they'd do. 

[Jubal]

Belatedly moved to vote.

[Jubal]

No problem
