[Senator Odakim V of the Rising Suns of Deominius]

"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 Kachiso Doshima of the Astrian Colonial Authority, supported by the Veolian Commonwealth and the Praetorian Empire. His candidacy announcement can be found in this topic.
• Current Chancellor Odakim V, Imperial Prince of the Rising Suns of Deominius, supported by the Socialist Republic of Niom and the Confederacy of Excaria. His 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 Monday the 4th of January 2016 at 23:59
• If your vote is late it will NOT be counted
• Winner is determined by majority (not absolute majority)
• Voting Laws
