To my fellow citizens of the Commonwealth of the Petra, I write to you once again as the Grand Speaker of the Garmont Assembly. I do so today as we celebrate joyous occasions with one neighbor, but also while our peaceful way of life is being tested by another. Yet, alongside these trials and triumphs, is is now time for us to look inward and honor one of our society’s most beloved traditions. After nearly a decade, I am pleased to announce the forthcoming elections of the Garmont Assembly, and for the Mayor of Vallagne. It is through the voice of the people that these great institutions are shaped, and through your will that we, as representatives, chart the path ahead. May each of you engage earnestly in this process, be it as an engaged voter, or an eager volunteer.

LORD-MAYOR QUALIFICATIONS

 

The Commonwealth of the Petra will elect a Lord-Mayor to govern its capital, Vallagne. The Lord-Mayor is responsible for maintaining the rights and dignities of the citizens, enacting city laws (subject to repeal by the River Council), and presiding as a judge for local crimes, except for Crimes Against the Commonwealth. Additionally, the Lord-Mayor will hold a seat on the Garmont Assembly.

 

A candidate for Lord-Mayor must have been a citizen of the Commonwealth for at least 5 years, be in good standing with both the Catherinian Code and the Canonist Church, and be at least 18 years old.

 

GARMONT REPRESENTATIVE QUALIFICATIONS

 

Three representatives from the Commonwealth will be elected to serve on the Garmont Assembly. These representatives, titled the First, Second, and Third People’s Seat of the Petra, are tasked with serving the needs of their neighbors and the common man, prioritizing public welfare over personal gain.

 

Nominees must be at least 16 years old, in good standing with Commonwealth Law and the Canonist Church, citizens of the Commonwealth, and possess thorough knowledge of the Catherinian Code.

 

Debates between the candidates shall take place on the upcoming Saint’s Days, and voting shall commence once the debate transcripts are issued. Questions will be curated by the Office of the Grand Speaker and issues to candidates after sign-ups close. Citizens will also have the opportunity to submit their own questions for the Lord-Mayor or Garmont Assembly nominees after the listed questions are asked and answered.
