CITIZENS OF NEW ALEXANDRIA:
We are holding our Spring Election of 1904 for the offices of State Representative, and for Governor.
The State Representative election will be open pool, where the top 3 candidates during the election will obtain the position of State Representative. The Governor election will be separate in a 'runoff' style, where a candidate must achieve a 50%+1 vote or else another round of voting between the top 2 candidates will take place.
State Representatives are responsible for drafting and passing State Laws, Acts, Edicts, Procedures, Resolutions, Criminal Punishment, Confirming Executive Appointments, and and maintaining checks and balances on the Executive and Judicial branches.
Representatives shall have a 4-month term, April 14-August 11, 1904.
*Parties interested in registering for Representative should sign up here.*
The Governor is responsible for keeping communication between the branches of government healthy, productive, and positive; hosting State Sponsored Events; Holding meetings that are relevant to the Office, Signing Bills passed by the Legislature into Law; Nominating Cabinet and Judicial appointments; Suppressing Treason and Secessionist movements; Addressing Native American Affairs; keeping and enforcing law, order, and maintaining tranquility among all citizens and bringing outlaws and criminals to justice on behalf of the victims. Experience in high office is recommended, but not required, as the internal workings of government are fairly complex and may be daunting.
The Governor will have a 4-month term, April 14-August 11, 1904.
