[Discussion] Voting Expansion Act (September 2018) - Vulturret - 09-26-2018

While I still think this is rather unneeded, it won't hurt anything, so I've drafted an amendment to allow for the additional language, as Cormac had suggested. Here it is:
Quote:
Voting Expansion Act (September 2018)
Proposed By: Vulturret
Preamble

An Act to expand the potential voting options in the Assembly for clarification. 

Section 1. Amendment

(1) Section 2(5) of the Assembly Procedure Act (August 2018) shall be amended to the following:
Quote:(5) All votes will take place for five days. Citizens eligible to vote may vote "Aye" or "For," "Nay" or 
"Against," or "Abstain" or "Present." Voters may not post any other content in a voting thread or embellish the format of their vote in any way, and votes that include additional content or embellishment will be discarded and split from the voting thread. Voters may cast their votes by posting in each voting thread.

I also agree this is far from necessary, for what it's worth. I'm just indifferent to it, beyond not wanting it to be subjective.

Vult's proposal looks fine to me, if we're doing this. If we're not doing this, that is also fine with me. Tongue

Indeed, my thoughts exactly. This amendment isn't needed in any way, shape, or form, but it we are going to do this, my proposal offers a sensible way of doing things rather than giving the Speaker too much discretion that is not needed.

I have split your proposal out of the other thread in an effort to maintain a one proposal to one thread proportion.

This proposal and the Assembly Procedure Act Amendment, being alternative solutions to the same perceived problem, shall be subject to the procedures detailed in the Assembly Procedure Act (August 2018) 2:4.

My apologies. Thank you for the cleanliness of this action.

What is the difference between this amendment and the one Arlo is working on? Do they both not favour a minimal expansion of eligible words?

It was not necessarily designed to be a competing proposal; it was an idea posted on the other thread, which I drafted into a legal format. The splitting of the post into a different thread (and your subsequent assumption that it is a different proposal) was done by the Speaker.

I uh... I'm not sure this really required splitting into a new thread but ok. It's not a different proposal because the other thread didn't actually have a solid proposal, it was a discussion...

Again, this was an action taken by the Speaker, not myself. While I won't discuss the specific merits of said action, it goes without saying that it doesn't really matter; here there is a proposal, thus we should discuss it.

Hmm. I'm indifferent to it
