I tired to vote opposite of whoever sent me the most unsolicited text. But I lost count.

I'm very sorry for the wait!

Howdy fellas, it's time to run and vote for Speaker, you know the drill. You may declare your candidacy and cast your vote for one(1) candidate. Y'all got 24 hours from the time this post goes live!!

Finally, we have results here.

Congratulations to u/jsjrjffjcj (Wellitsaname in Minecraft) of Senatus Populusque Romanum on becoming SimDemocracy's entire Minecraft Legislative Assembly once more!

Let it be known that you cannot just write "me" on a Call for Candidates on the day the election is supposed to be and expect to get a seat.

We also have results here!

We had four valid votes. Which probably shouldn't surprise anyone.

Here are the final results of the Score round:
- u/Interesting_Task4572 (Embutharldorness in NationStates) [Furry Party] -- 7
- u/benbookworm97 (Trae Phic in NationStates) [Independent] -- 5
- u/RecordingForeign2479 (The Emirate of Deloulu in NationStates) [Fucking Best Party] -- 15
- u/Cup_Of_Sauce (The Sams in NationStates) [Fucking Best Party] -- 2

Congratulations to u/RecordingForeign2479 (The Emirate of Deloulu in NationStates) of the Fucking Best Party and to u/Interesting_Task4572 (Embutharldorness in NationStates) of the Furry Party on being our two highest scorers and continuing to the runoff!

Here are the final results of the Automatic Runoff round:
- u/RecordingForeign2479 (The Emirate of Deloulu in NationStates) [Fucking Best Party] -- 3
- u/Interesting_Task4572 (Embutharldorness in NationStates) [Furry Party] -- 1

Congratulations to u/RecordingForeign2479 (The Emirate of Deloulu in NationStates) on winning the election and becoming the next Governor of SimDemocracy's NationStates region!

Next, the Senatorial election!

On this, we had 37 valid votes, which gives us seven Senate seats. This is a pretty sharp decrease from last time (over 20%).

Congratulations to SimDemocracy's newest Senators!
- Independent John Politics/crusadercrucifix (on Discord) [threshold = 5]
- u/eleanorsilly of the Revolutionary Organization for Social Equality [threshold = 5]|
- u/HellriserHellas of the Civil Liberties Party [threshold = 5]

The results are (finally) in!

First up, our referendum, on one constitutional amendment. On it, we had 35 valid votes.

On the We Actually love the Bill of Rights Amendment, 34.29% voted Aye. This falls short of the 2/3 majority required for constitutional amendments, so this amendment is rejected.

...maybe we actually hate the Bill of Rights.

Is there a plan, a last right option to Order an order 66, to hose all in a certain realm with the upcoming elections? Seems total legit to me as possible....

It's also time for the NationStates gubernatorial election! That's right! We have one! Again!

Vote on this three!

Polls close in 24 hours.

my account isn't hacked i changed my password and its restricted till tomorrow. u/zepz367 or wtv let the people know

Predictably, no election.

Funnily enough, there were two other comments on the Reddit post. Except one was just a plea to "make bedrock work" and the other was a run by someone who was not eligible.

Anyway.

Congratulations to u/doc_cortex (DEUS_V in Minecraft) on collecting yet another term as Governor of SimDemocracy's Minecraft server!
