Interesting, though some of this IS covered, you do point out a few things never thought of, or what to do with many canidates running. I like some of this, and I am willing to second it, though I believe the election should be held earlier in the year, and be set should our first vote require the run off.
Candidates should announce their intentions in June, starting on the first and ending on the 31st.
First round of elections should take place in August with a second round in September or October.
By having the results before December, it gives the president time to consolidate his office and positions and be ready to take power in January of his first year as president.
As election terms are five years and started in 2060, every term would start in a year ending with Zero or 5, which would mean election years would be in the ears ending with 9 or 4, 2064 would be our first election year, with the winner taking office January of 2065
I believe a person shoudl be content with two terms of presidency.
[ooc]I cannot guarantee my abilities to post on any given day save for my "weekend" which is Tuesday and Wednesday. I chose Monday for my update day as I go to work early in the morning that day and get home in the afternoon. if you would like to set both of these to Wednesday or generally willing to just give me sometime in the week it would be much easier on me. also the terms of presidency I would like to try to make this clear, any real person, myself you and ect can be president as much as you can get yourself elected, though I was thinking the two term consecutive limit to break up the popular person running the show forever. Our character personas, your payne or my Casey, I feel should only be president for two terms, if you want to be president again, you invent a new person, of course if you want an IC freedom for a person to be King president for almost his entire life, thats fine too, if everyone votes on it :p [/ooc]
