Council elections take place every 60 days in the bailiwick of the town. The purpose is to elect councillors who will manage the duchy under the leadership of the duke.
Contents
Voting system
The elections use a "party-list proportional representation", which means:
- You are voting for the entire list. You can not vote for a specific member. And you can only vote for one list.
- There are twelve seats in the council. A list that received 50% of the votes will get six seats.
Candidacies
Presenting a list
You can present a list:
- starting from 30 days before the end of the mandate of the current council
- if you have the "County Ambitions" skill
- if you have 200 pounds required to create a list (this amount is paid into the coffer of the duchy)
List composition
A list is made up of 12 people. The person who created it is the head of the list.
It is the head of the list who chooses which persons to be included. However, the persons on the list will have to validate their registration.
A person can not be registered on two different lists in the same election.
List validation
A list is eligible to acquire votes if:
- all twelve members on the list have confirmed their registration
- the required fee of 1000 pounds is paid. Every person in the duchy can help to pay for it. (This amount is also paid into the coffers of the duchy)
The vote
The duration of the vote is six days, starting from the seventh day before the end of the mandate of the current council.
It is only possible to vote once for each character for the entire list. However, those who are noble of the sword, even though they can only vote once, contribute two votes instead of one to the list of their choice.
It is not possible to vote in prison.
Results
At the end of this period, the result gives spot to each list proportionaly: 50% of votes=50% of spots.
If a list acquires 5 spots, then the first 5 characters of this list acquire them.
Example
There is 1000 votes expressed and 3 lists:
- One list "English wiki" which has 55%, hence 550 votes
- One list "Celsius Online" which has 35%, hence 350 votes
- One list "French wiki" which has 10%, hence 100 votes
There are 12 spots, 1000 votes, hence we give one spot each 83 votes (1000/12 = 83,33).
At the first round, we give:
- 550/83 = 6,6 = 6 spots for the English wiki (remainder: 52 voix)
- 350/83 = 4,2 = 4 spots for Celsius Online (remainder: 18 voix)
- 100/83 = 1,2 = 1 spot for the French wiki (remainder: 17 voix)
There is still one spot to give. It will be given to the list which has the highest remainder, here the English wiki.
Summary:
Spots at the council :
- The first 7 of "English wiki"
- The first 4 of "Celsius Online"
- the head of the list "French wiki"
English wiki would have the absolute majority.
Election of the count (or duke)
At the end of the council election, when the twelve members of the council are elected, they have two days to elect among themselves a duke that will take charge and will give them a fonction. After those two days, if there is an equality, a new vote takes place, for two days, until the council finally agree to elect a duke.
During the election of the new duke, councelors from the previous mandate still have access to their offices, and should handle gestion of the county. During this period, a counselor who is not elected again can not give his resignation. During this period, a counselor newly elected is able to give its resignation. If he had already voted, the counselor who will replace him would not be able to vote.
At the end of each turn of this election, each councilor receives the result of the vote, knowing exactly who voted or who.
Resignations
Every councel can put his resignation from the council. (Warning: there is no IG conformation after clicking)
When a counselor gives his resignation, he is replaced by the following one on his lis. If the twelth gives his resignation, he is not replaced.
Examples:
- Candidates 1, 2, 3 and 4 of a list are elected. If the fourth one resigns, the fifth one of that list enters the council.
- Candidates 1, 2, 3 and 4 of a list are elected. If the third one resigns, the fifth one of that list enters the council.
- Candidates 1, 2, 3,4 and 5 of a list are elected. If the third one resigns, the fifth one will enter the council. Then, if the second one resigns, the third one will enter the council, since he is the next on the list.
If the duke resigns durign his mandate, the following counselor of his list will enter the council, then new duke election will take place.
