The Markev Maership Election

From the office of the Lady Seneschal, 1694.

 

---

As the Lady Seneschal of Markev, I am proud to announce the upcoming Maer elections. Runners will have two saint’s days to respond to this call, and Fabio, our current Maer, is welcome to run a second time, as he’s served us well these past years. A debate will be announced and held  at the soonest time possible, and following the debate, we will allow the populace to vote on their favoured runner. It has also come to my attention that many people are unsure of the actual responsibilities of our maer, and they are as follows;

 

The City needs a voice of reason, someone to guide and speak for the simple folk. The people elect a Maer and he holds a high office amongst his peers, able to grant insights into the peoples thoughts. The Maer often serves to push for the interests of the people, while also being a good mediator amongst citizens and officials alike. He or she may do anything to the city, its infrastructure, policies, systems and any other would be some areas. It is also up to the Maer to enact any new policies, systems or construction of further infrastructure as they deem fit. Being Maer may very well be likened to being King of the city, while a King governs the nation and its interests the Maer governs the city and its interests.

 

A few examples of some of these responsibilities would be, to enact taxes or organize government funded programs, to command structures to be built or modified by our very talented architects, to hire workers or assistants, or appoint people to certain jobs within the city.

 

Good luck to all who wish to run, I eagerly await to hear your speeches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Signed, Lady Viktoria Kovachev,

Lady Seneschal of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska.

All applications will be welcome for 48 hours (Dec 20, 2018 at 3pm EST), following these 48 hours I will announce a time for a physical debate, this time, so that we can all gather for an event in Markev itself. That is when the speeches will be had. And for those who miss the event, I will post them on here in a second post.
