Equal Voters' Act

In accordance with Article VIII of the Constitution of the Great Experiment, we propose this act to reform the voting system of the Great Experiment and amend Section V, VI, and VIII of Article V within the Constitution of the Great Experiment.

With concern over popular observance the flaw within Article V Sections V, VI, and VIII, which mandates the process of presidential elections within the Great Experiment via World Assembly endorsements, alienating members without access to their NationStates account who still retain membership and are affected by the legislation,

Further concerned over the system's obvious natural advantage given to the incumbent, which has shown to be apparent with the advent of the Election of 8 November and the subsequent snap Election of 18 November,

Hereby amending Article V Sections V, VI, and VIII's voting system with a simpler two-round system determined via popular vote, held via a vote on the Great Experiment Discord Server through the Reactions system within Discord's user interface. With this system, the candidate who is to receive the highest valid number of reactions would win the presidency provided they won at least 40% of the popular vote. If no candidate is to receive 40% of the popular vote, a runoff election is to be held two days later in which the choice of president and would be made from the two persons who had received the highest number of votes in the first election. Further noting that re-election is to be held in this method, and that, in the event of a tie, a tiebreaking vote is to be held by the Founder.

Acknowledging that, in doing so, this will, in turn, separate the method behind electing the post of World Assembly Delegate with the method of electing the President, and that, in turn, the World Assembly Delegate and the President of the Great Experiment would not have to be held by the same person.

Convinced that a flawed section of the ought to be repealed, hereby amends Sections V, VI, and VIII of the fifth Article of the Constitution of the Great Experiment.
