"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:

• Duchess Dewa Lanadi of the Veolian Commonwealth, supported by the Astai Republic and the Kingdom of Meritonia. 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 29th of May 2016 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 Duchess Dewa Lanadi for being elected to the position of Chancellor

((OOC: My apologies, this one slipped through the cracks T_T))

[Chancellor Dewa Lanadi]

"Fellow senators,

Thank you for the confidence you have placed in me during this election.

I would now like to announce my cabinet."

Lanadi looks over the assembled senators.


"Following tradition, I have appointed myself as the Minister of Finance.

I have appointed Senator Enrorgh of Meritonia, my first running mate, as Minister of Defence.

I have appointed Senator Atheos from the Astai Republic, as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

I would like to ask Senator Mathi-ey C'b'rton of the Divine Fiefdom of Highmons to take up the position of Minister of Justice. At least until such time that the ministry is dissolved as per the Supreme Court of the Union Act as voted into effect a week ago.

And finally, I ask senator Ardios Eldrilith of the Praetorian Empire to join me as Minister of Commerce."


She looks first at senator Mathi-ey C'b'rton, and then at senator Ardios Eldrilith.

I hope that senator Mathi-ey C'b'rton and senator Ardios Eldrilith accept this invitation, such that we can get to the business of governing the Union."

[Senator Ardios Eldrilith]

"On behalf of the Praetorian Empire, I accept."

[Senator Mathi-ey C'b'rton of the Divine Fiefdom of Highmons]

"I shall be happy to serve as requested."
