[Senator Acehtoo of the Miomanian Colonists]

"In accordance with the Electoral Process, I hereby officially open the Union Elections.

During these elections the next chancellor will be determined, which will in turn determine the direction the Union will take in the next 20 turns.

The options open for elections are:

• Senator Lonco Morubixaba of Skuldda, who is backed by Wrarrbo and Liberal Assencia. Senator Lonco wishes to speed up the union by streamlining decision making, trade and union fleets. Discussion Thread
• Senator Ardios Eldrilith of the Praetorian Empire, who is backed by the Divine Fiefdom of Highmons and the Teprogrenaian Consensus. Senator Ardios wishes to focus on the war with the mandalorians and provide military support without red tape, hoping to continue negotiations with the Echani. Discussion Thread

Please register your vote before the deadline."

((OOC: Some notes about this vote and the related process:

• Votes should be sent to Mercury by private message
• All Union Members not currently Fringe Worlds may vote. That means that unlike most votes, Core Worlds may vote in this election.

• NPC's may vote. If you have NPC's, please list them in the same message as your own factions vote for the sake of Mercury's sanity
• All votes must be in by Sunday the 15th of September 2013 at 23:59 CEST
• If your vote is late it will NOT be counted
• Winner is determined by majority (not absolute majority)
