Va Birodeo Herzenav e Edlervik,

 

As is the custom of the realm, a general election shall be held in order to determine the office holders of the elected positions within the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. 

 

There are three positions that shall be open for citizens to run for, those being the offices of the Grand Maer of Reza and of the Royal Aldermen of the realm. Those wishing to run must submit an application Incumbents for these offices shall automatically be added to the election ballots unless otherwise told, although it is highly recommended that they still tender an application to the Office of the Lord Palatine for record keeping purposes. 

 

For those subjects unfamiliar with the roles of our kingdom’s elected positions, the duties of these offices are as follows:

 

---

 

• The Grand Maer of Reza - The Maer is charged with orchestrating the daily operations of the royal capital. His or her job is to see to the proper maintenance of the royally sanctioned tavern, the attraction of new businesses and economic growth to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, and the regular organization of city events. He or she reports directly to the High Steward, who in turn reports to the Crown.
   

• The Royal Aldermen - Aldermen are elected to represent the people of the kingdom in the Royal Duma, the legislative body of the realm. The two most popular candidates from each election cycle are chosen to serve as these representatives, and are tasked to listen to their constituents and propose laws relating to their interests in the Duma.

 

---

 

As well, Denizens are reminded that the following prerequisites have been established in order to both vote and stand for these offices:

• Be at least fourteen years of age

• Be a resident of Reza or corresponding vassal and territories under the jurisdiction of the Crown of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska for at least five years

• Have no outstanding criminal background within the last five years
   

The top two vote-recipients for the office of Alderman will be duly elected to the Aldermen seats of His Majesty’s Royal Duma and the candidate for Maership with the most votes shall take on the office of Maer. 

 

May GOD bless His Majesty and the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska!

 

IV JOVEO MAAN,

His Excellency, Ser Konrad Arthur Stafyr, Lord Palatine of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, Councilor Paramount and Lord Speaker of the Royal Duma, Knight of the Haensenic Realm

I have also served as the leader of the opposition. I know how duma works and I vote on acts that would benefit the citizens. It would be a grave mistake not to have me as an Alderman.”
