Eurussia commends the author of the proposal however, we believe that such format of an election body has been discussed before, yet we won't opposed if ever be discussed again. However, we would just like to note that there is a recently passed law which is presumed to be more efficient when it comes to election administration, it is the Election Regulation Act.

Since we believe that there is nothing to be more transparent with our current election system which forbids any secret ballot and everything is well published for everyone to see from registration, to election, up to the proclamation :-)

Great Empire of Ireland wrote:No offense to Eurussia but the Sec. General really shouldn't have all that pressure. Im pretty sure he may have some but all he really does is announce elections,end elections, and count and post results. I believe our current system is efficemt enough and this would only add confusion. So I am still against this.

Central Daylight Time, a time zone equivalent to UTC-5. I include it so the parliament will know when I will count votes and do other actions at certain times. Personally, I don't like the GMT format used before as the GMT line is five to six hours ahead of me.

OCC: If this edit creates a double post I apologize in advance.
