MAYORAL ELECTIONS OF ST GODWINSBURG 2070

[DuhPuhWuh 1282]

he office of His Serene Highness’ Chancellery doth announce the commencement of a period of mayoral elections. This Year of Our Lord, two-thousand and seventy, elections are hence called into effect.

 

The length of the Lady Mayor’s second term hath now run its full course, and the humble citizenry of Saint Godwinsburg shall verily long benefit from the labours of Lady Susanna of Dover, whose care hath brought about many works for our good city. However, the seat of Saint Godwinsburg’s mayorship is now empty and the Chancellery must do its duty, and so, in accordance with the Alban Code and the city’s Charter, we call forth renewed elections for the mayorship. Under her guiding hand the boroughs of Janisport and Little Furnestock were incorporated into Saint Godwinsburg, by the appointment of their Aldermen to the city council. Lady Susanna also oversaw many improvements upon the city itself, including the renovation of the Drunken Squire and Prince’s Square, and ordered further expansions of the city’s borough lands. She encouraged festivals, commerce, and further fostered Alban culture so that prosperity flourished amongst both citizen and merchant. By her shrewd service the city’s good keeping hath been assured, the city’s faire markets are more prosperous than ever. Yet surely, her most enduring success shall be that of the Alban Archive, a fine house of knowledge erected for the preservation of Alban texts to inspire the generations yet to come. Thus, after long years of tireless governance, ever devoted to her duties, Lady Susanna hath vacated her office of Mayor, and gives way for another.  Indeed, she shall be remembered as a great Lady Mayor, infinite compliments unto her and good health unto her own.

 

Prospective candidates shall have until next Horen’s Calling to deliver a letter to the Lord Chancellor expressing their intention of candidacy. Once nominations are complete, candidates shall be given a period of time to campaign and will be invited to attend a debate to be questioned by the citizens of Saint Godwinsburg. Thereafter, a ballot box, for voting, shall be constructed in Prince’s Square, at the heart of the city, and residents may begin casting their ballots.

 

The requirements for candidacy are listed hence

1. The Candidate must be of at least ten and eight years of age.
2. The Candidate must be a permanent resident of the City of Saint Godwinsburg.
3. The Candidate must not be a title-bearer or noble peer of the realm.

The election period shall extend till next year, two-thousand and seventy-one, and upon the last day of Sun’s Smile the ballots received shall be collected, counted and confirmed, wherein a public declaration shall be made announcing the victor and new Mayor of Saint Godwinsburg. Well wishes unto thee, each and all hopeful candidates.
