It shall maintain its capability to reorganize itself internally for efficiency. There must still be at least three member states of the Security Council to enforce its decisions, otherwise, the Founder, may still exercise its powers for extraordinary circumstances for the benefit of the World Alliance.

Section 2) The new Security Council shall be composed of fifteen seats where thirteen of which, herein referred to as "elected seats," shall be generally elected representing the thirteen official continents of the World Alliance, while two of which, herein referred to as "honorary seats," shall be held by the Founder and the generally endorsed Delegate to the World Assembly, respectively.

The Vice Presidency shall perform the generally accepted  default functions or roles of its office or as may be assigned by the same Presidency and as may be prescribed by law. The Vice Presidency may be replaced any time by the Presidency, at will, but not from its elected seat in the Security Council.

Section 6) Any time, the incumbent Presidency (including its serving co-terminus Vice Presidency) may be replaced by the Security Council if any of the elected seats nominates itself or gets nominated by a fellow elected seat supported by at least half of the Security Council.

Section 7) If any of the elected seats of the Security Council, aside from the Presidency and Vice Presidency, has a vacancy resulting from dismissal or resignation or in any manner, the Presidency shall immediately order the Founder or any other officer-in-charge of elections at the time of vacancy to hold special elections to fill up the vacancy to serve the remaining term of office.

Section 8) However, if the office of the Presidency becomes vacant resulting from dismissal or resignation or in any manner, the Vice Presidency shall assume as the Acting Presidency, if willing. And if not, the WA Delegate shall assume as the acting Presidency, if willing. And if not, the Founder then. Until a new duly elected Presidency has been elected by the Security Council among the incumbent elected seats. If such procedure is unsuccessful in filling up the vacancy on the Presidency, the Acting Presidency shall immediately order the Founder or any other officer-in-charge of the elections at the time of vacancy to hold special elections to fill up the vacancy on the Presidency to serve the remaining term of office. The Acting Presidency is prohibited on exercising the powers vested to the elected Presidency unless otherwise as may be provided by law or with approval of the Security Council.

Section 9) In the case of the World Assembly Delegate, if a nation state holding an elected seat in the Security Council assumed the post during its incumbency at the same time, that nation state shall be immuned from any liability for holding an elected seat and honorary seat simultaneously in the Security Council for seven days. However, its vote shall be counted as a single vote only during this period and must decide within the same period whether to give up its elected seat or honorary seat. If no decision is made within the said seven days, the concerned nation state is assumed to have relinquished its elected seat in favor of the honorary seat in the Security Council.

Section 10) Only nation states of the World Alliance that are on the official World Alliance Map, registered on the official World Alliance Forums, have at least thirteen sensible posts at the official World Alliance Forums, not a puppet, and have had at least one week of uninterrupted stay and residency in the World Alliance may be eligible to become candidates for an elected seat at the Security Council.

Section 11) Only nation states of the World Alliance that are registered at the official World Alliance Forum and at the official World Alliance Map and are not puppet states are eligible to vote during the elections.

Section 12) The general elections shall be supervised by the Founder, by default, or by any other capable nation state as named by the Founder or as may be prescribed by law. All of the processes of the elections must have transparency. All ballots must be cast by two means mandatorily; first, the election ballot of an eligible nation state must be sent via private telegram through the official World Alliance Forum to the Founder AND the incumbent President (and if it is not the Founder handling the elections, the officer-in-charge shall receive the ballot AND the Founder too); and second, the said voting nation state shall inform the public through the dedicated election thread that it has already voted AND to whom it sent its election ballots. Otherwise, the vote shall be considered null and void.

Section 13) The final tally of votes shall be certified as true, correct, and with no discrepancy or differences by the Founder and the President (or if the Founder is not in charge, the officer-in-charge of the elections and the Founder) that have received the election ballots. Afterwhich, an official proclamation of the winners shall be executed as soon as possible prior to the start of the succeeding term.

Section 15) To ensure the institutionalized transition of the incumbent Tenth Security Council into the elected and succeeding Eleventh Security Council, the incumbent Security Council shall be allowed to continue to perform its functions as an executive, legislative, and judicial body of the World Alliance until the next Security Council takes office and the Presidency is prohibited from appointing new member states into the body. It is hereby prescribed that the election period for the Eleventh Security Council shall be held immediately and as such, newly elected member states are expected to start their term on the 15th day of the succeeding month based on the month this Act was passed. But still their term of office shall end on the 3rd month after the month of their assumption of office. (May 15 to August 31) OTHERWISE, if no proclamation of election winners is made on or before the 15th day of the succeeding month based on the month this Act was passed, the Eleventh Security Council shall only start their term on the 1st day of the succeeding month following month the 15th day deadline was prescribed which shall end on the 2nd month after the month of their assumption of office. (June 1 to August 31) THERAFTER, the regular schedule of terms of office under this Act shall be followed judiciously.

Section 16) This Act shall effectively repeal Section 2 and Section 9 of the World Alliance Security Council Act. This Act shall also effectively repeal the World Alliance Secondary Seats Act and the World Alliance Security Council Qualifications Act.

Original LAW: WA GENERAL ELECTIONS ACT

This proposal is not a means to change or alter the objectives or aspirations of the WA General Elections Act but this proposal and amendment aims to provide more privileges to the elected member states of the Security Council due to the fact they were elected democratically by the whole World Alliance. The proponent just realized lately that these provisions should have been included during the deliberations of the passed WA General Elections Act and most importantly, the by-elections.

Therefore, the provisions below shall replace the existing and corresponding provisions under the WA General Elections Act and add any other provision as stipulated herein;

Section 17) For any vacancy on elected seats in the Security Council, the Security Council itself may opt to conduct special elections one month after the incumbents' start of their term or two months after the incumbents' start of their term, whichever is convenient and practical on the discretion of the Security Council, to fill up the aforementioned vacancies by which shall serve the remaining term of the incumbent Security Council's term of office.


Section 18) The elected seats of the Security Council can only be subjected to a dismissal from the Security Council by virtue of a seventy five percent concurrence of all voting member states of the Security Council on the grounds of violating any existing international laws of the World Alliance as attested by a guilty verdict arising from a judicial case.
