Proposal: Consistent ADoP duties
(AI = 2)
Amend Rule 2154 (Election Procedure) by appending to this text:
If at any point an uncontested election has a single candidate,
then any player CAN by announcement declare em the winner of the
election, thereby causing em to win the election. If at any point
an uncontested election has no candidates, then any player CAN
declare the election ended with no winner by announcement.
this text:
In each of these cases, the ADoP SHALL so announce in a timely
fashion, unless someone else has already done so.
[I think the recent resolutions of Treasuror and Tailor, while still
effective resolutions, didn't count as temporary deputisation because
the ADoP wasn't required to do them.]
I don't think this is needed, see existing text:
After the nomination period ends, the ADoP CAN and, in a timely
fashion, SHALL:
2) If POSSIBLE per the following paragraph, end the election
immediately.
Yeah, you're right. IMO it could still do with a reword for
clarity, though.
Proto: Clarify ADoP duties
(AI = 2)
Amend Rule 2154 (Election Procedure) by replacing this text:
After the nomination period ends, the ADoP CAN and, in a timely
fashion, SHALL:
1) If the election is contested, initiate an Agoran decision to
select the winner of the election (the poll). For this
decision, the Vote Collector is the ADoP, the valid options are
the candidates for that election (including those who become
candidates after its initiation), and the voting method is
instant runoff. When the poll is resolved, its outcome, if a
player, wins the election. If the outcome is not a player, the
election ends with no winner.
2) If POSSIBLE per the following paragraph, end the election
immediately.
If at any point an uncontested election has a single candidate,
then any player CAN by announcement declare em the winner of the
election, thereby causing em to win the election. If at any point
an uncontested election has no candidates, then any player CAN
declare the election ended with no winner by announcement.
