Special Election (May 2021) - Nominations and Declarations

[Debussy]

Shareholders of Lazarus,

As per Lazarene Elections Act 1.3, a Special Election shall be held as soon as reasonably possible once a vacancy in an elected office appears. With the resignation of the Prime Minister, @Whatermelons, the Special Election (May 2021) has begun as of May 20th to elect a new Prime Minister. The winner will assume the office of Prime Minister on May 28th, 2021.

This thread shall serve as the standing thread as per Lazarene Elections Act 4.1. Eligible Shareholders may perform any of the following in this thread:

• Declare that they intend to stand for the Special Election. Please make this statement clear and obvious. 
  
  
• Rescind a prior declaration in clear and obvious language. 
  
  
• Nominate other individuals to stand for the election. Note that these nominations are purely advisory, and only candidates that have formally declared as described above will be considered.
  

Any shareholders that have declared their candidacy are strongly encouraged to create a campaign thread by the time the campaign period has ended. If the individual does not do so, the Speaker will create such a thread for them.

The standing period will end on May 22nd, 8:18 AM EST, at which point the campaigning period shall begin.

-- Debussy, Speaker
