*DO NOT POST CAMPAIGNS ON WALL TILL 30TH NOVEMBER OR DISQUALIFICATION*
Hey everybody! Much to the dismay of ordinary citizens and excitement of budding hopefuls, we've came round to the bimonthly house elections. In this thread you'll find everything you need to know regarding the elections.
1] Find a party There are currently 5 political parties that you can run as. They are: -Democratic National Party -Republican National Party -Libertarian National Party -Green National Party -Plutocratic Party
Find the best party that suits your ideals! If you don't want to run within any party, you can always run as an independent. If you name a party other than the ones listed above, you will be classed as independent.
2] Create a signature thread For both current house members and new hopefuls, you require 10 signatures to be put on the ballot. This is rather lenient, seeing as in the past, you required a whole 25 signatures. When creating your signature thread, you should outline: -Your policies [what you're going to do in Congress] -A short speech [to embrace with the electorate] -Your party [to ensure maximum clarity]
While these aren't required, they definitely increase your chances of being supported.
3] Message the user "rossb655" DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT MESSAGE ME! If you do, you can face disqualification. You MUST follow this template to get on the ballot:
SUBJECT: House Ballot Application
Name: Political party: Signature thread link: Time zone:
If you fill out the above form correctly, send it to rossb655, have the required amount of signatures and are not registered as a terrorist, gang member or alt account, you will be placed on the ballot.
4] Campaign! But keep it clean. *DO NOT POST CAMPAIGNS ON WALL TILL 30TH NOVEMBER OR DISQUALIFICATION*
With great wall spam comes great responsibility. ONLY POST ONE CAMPAIGN ADVERTISEMENT PER WALL PAGE. I'll be perusing the USA wall at my leisure and if I find that somebody has put more than one campaign advertisement on a page of comments, I will disqualify you [obviously i'll check audits to make sure nobody deleted their posts]. Please note that PM campaigning is frowned upon. Don't blame me if you don't get into Congress and nobody wants to hire you elsewhere because you spammed them with campaign adverts. However, you'll face no electoral repercussions. Remember that signatures =/= votes. Anyone can give as many signatures as they like to as many campaigns as they like, but that's not in the ballot. If you receive 100 signatures, you might only receive 2 votes - ergo you'll lose.
I suggest you begin creating your signature threads now, so you can march on the streets with your army of dedicated voters [or perhaps not] and try and gain support.
Good luck to all candidates!

As always, 30 members will be elected. I've been thinking about changing the system back to classes since the SC has stupidly and ridiculously made it IMPOSSIBLE for Congress to convene without a huge amount of members present.
