"In accordance with the Electoral Process, I hereby officially open the Union Elections.

During these elections the next chancellor will be determined, which will in turn determine the direction the Union will take in the next 20 turns.

The options open for elections are:

• Senator Nehket Aeka of the Veolian Commonwealth supported by the Sundarian Federation and the Paetorian Empire. Her candidacy announcement can be found in this topic.
• Senator Acehtoo of the Miomanian Colonists supported by the Holy Heimgolian Theocracy and the Astrian Colonial Authority. Her candidacy announcement can be found in this topic.

Please register your vote before the deadline."

((OOC: Some notes about this vote and the related process:

• DO NOT VOTE IN THIS THREAD!
• Votes should be sent to Mercury by private message
• All Union Members not currently Fringe Worlds may vote. That means that unlike most votes, Core Worlds may vote in this election.
• Naturally, this means Minor Worlds may also vote!
• NPC's may vote. If you have NPC's, please list them in the same message as your own factions vote for the sake of Mercury's sanity
• All votes must be in by Sunday the 9th of November 2014 at 23:59
• If your vote is late it will NOT be counted
• Winner is determined by majority (not absolute majority)
• Voting Laws

))

The independent electoral committee published the results of the vote:

Our congratulations to Senator Acehtoo for being elected to the position of Chancellor

((OOC: I believe this may be the closes election we have had yet!))

[Nehket Aeka]

"I would like to offer my congratulations to senator Acehtoo for her victory. I look forward to the senate discussions and maybe even a proposal to increase collaboration between Union members.

I will, of course, have my aides make a summary of the currently running affairs and projects for her to peruse."
