[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 Nehket Aeka of the Veolian Commonwealth, supported by the Divine Fiefdom of Highmons and the Teprogrenaian Consensus. Her candidacy announcement can be found in this topic
• Senator Afra Mesti Vanlind of Komès, supported by the Kingdom of Meritonia and the New Communist Imperium of the Rising Suns of Deominius. Her candidacy announcement can be found in this topic

Please register your vote before the deadline."

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

• DO NOT VOTE IN THIS THREAD!
• 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.
• Naturally, this means Minor Worlds may also vote!
• 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 29th of March 2015 at 23:59
• If your vote is late it will NOT be counted
• Winner is determined by majority (not absolute majority)
• Voting Laws

))

The independent electoral committee published the results of the vote:

• Senator Nehket Aeka: 11 votes
• Senator Afra Mesti Vanlind: 9 votes
• Abstentions / Invalid votes: 2 votes

Our congratulations to Senator Nehket Aeka for being re-elected to the position of Chancellor

((OOC: I will note that if Nehket Aeka had not spent as much on buying votes... she probably would have lost this one))

[Senator Afra Mesti Vanlind of Komès]

"In light of the result as just announced by the Electorial Committee, I wish to offer my congratulations to Senator Nehket Aeka of the Veolian Commonwealth for being elected Chancellor for upcoming electorial period."

Senator Afra stated after the results had been announced.

[Nehket Aeka]

"Thank you senator. I look forward to working together with the rest of the senate to guide the Union forward."
