     Va Birodeo Herzenav e Edlervik,

 

     As is 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 New Reza, the Royal Alderman, and Tribune. Those wishing to run must submit an application. Incumbents for these offices shall be automatically be added to the ballot 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 unfamiliar with the roles of our Kingdom’s elected positions, the duties of these offices are as follows:

 

     The Royal Alderman: Aldermen are elected to represent the people of the kingdom in the Royal Duma, the legislative body of the realm. The single most popular candidate from each election cycle is chosen to serve as this representative, and are tasked with listening to their constituents and proposing laws relating to their interests in the Duma.

 

     Grand Maer of New 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.

 

     Tribune: The Tribune is an elected position in the Royal Duma. It must be filled by one who is of common birth to further ensure the representation of the lower classes in the body. Tribunes are tasked with listening to their constituents and relating their actions in the Duma with their interests in mind.

---

     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 

    –Adhere to the following: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/188048-royal-decree-the-regulations-on-campaign-1748/ 

*TRIBUNES must be of common birth in order to run for office

*Noble patriarchs are not permitted to run for the Maer, Tribune or Alderman position

 

The candidate with the most votes for each position will be elected to their respective office.
