Greetings!

So I believe that our elections system is completely broken.


There are a series of issues of why I believe such is the matter at hand, and I will list below reasons why it is a problem, and a potential method to reform and repair our elections system.


▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
ISSUES WITH OUR ELECTION SYSTEM
-

First of all, our elections are set up, managed, and operated by the majority party of Congress. It is not even the majority party that has control, but a small select group of people within the majority party, where one party can actually BAR anyone from running for that election.

We, too often, see someone running who openly disputes with members of the HEC or SEC, while running, usually disappears from the ballot. That is not fair, whatsoever. A small group of 3-4 votes of the majority party in Congress should not dictate whether someone should be able to run or not. That should be determined by a non-bias group of individuals who are not, themselves, running to keep their office.

Elections for the House of Representatives were restarted not once, not twice, but THREE times! That is unnecessary.


▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
POSSIBLE IDEA TO FIX THE ELECTION SYSTEM
-

We should expand the FEC to oversee ALL FEDERAL ELECTIONS! The FEC has been successful in their Presidential Elections that they managed. If they were to hire some more people, people who were not involved in the government, to help oversee Congressional Elections, we would have better election management.

Of course, that is just an idea, but please, if you have any of YOUR OWN IDEAS, please post them below. A lot of NUSA's corruption thrives in our broken election system that poorly oversees the electoral process. That needs to change, and it needs to change NOW.


▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
PLEASE SIGN BELOW IF YOU BELIEVE WE SHOULD REFORM HOW ELECTIONS ARE MANAGED!

I mean, you are right; Congressional committees were never meant to regulate elections for Congress. An independent commission should regulate them, to eliminate partisanship, etc. in the election process. Naturally, the Federal Elections Commission is the right choice.

We don't need the EXT branch running our elections.

The only times the HEC fails is when we have idiots like Kalo running the elections.

I do agree with your other points on about the bias.



We don't need devs running our elections as well.

The FEC is not supposed to be executive, actually. It's kinda it's own independent agency but I think the FEC should entirely be overseen by Carlos and Andy

imo it would actually be better if HEC members were not fully of people that are up for re-elections

FEC on roblox that is how it is ran.


Night and his devs would mess up even more because of the fact that they're often busy. Night is rarely seen, and do you really thing he or his devs will be able to keep track of term ends, classes, and other important dates?


It's not like some of these guys even follow the constitution to begin with.

I sign and completely agree with you Mark. It seems weird to me that congress handles their own elections themselves. It should instead be an independent party (not a political party, of course) that run the show.

So you guys are okay with replacing a broken system with one which is autocratic and already broken?

The FEC will be filled with people who don't follow the law, have no terms, which aren't picked by the people, and who will be lazy?


Sounds just like the system we need.


(Sarcasm)


Anyone who supports this should re think about this bill idea again.

Soviet;

1. This is NOT a bill. It is a petition for our leaders to change how we conduct elections.
2. The FEC idea was just a quick idea I had. It's not constructed out completely, and I did state at the end that it was JUST AN IDEA, and that I encourage people to suggest their own.
