The Voting Process

This guide will explains the simple, quick voting process in Slappee.

There are three main types of votes. Local votes, Nationwide votes, and Elected Representative votes.

The government is run on a system where minor laws are set by the local authorities, and nationwide laws must by obeyed and enforced by the local government. You can vote on local laws, using a 3 option 2 choice system. Each law has a 2 year cycle, where it can be voted apon again, wether to change the law, remove the law, or keep the law.

Nationwide votes run on the same 3 option 2 choice system, with each law cycle lasting 4 years. Nationwide laws must be followed and enforced by all local governments.

Elected Representatives will be voted upon by a unlimited choice system, for every 10,000 people there is one local representitive. The local representitive will make proposals for laws for that district, as well as proposals to the district representitives. There are 3 district representatives per district, and if +50% vote for, the law will go to the nationwide voting system. Every 8 years all representitives must be re-elected. There are no re-election limits.

To vote you must have a voting compatible device, requiring a retina scanner. You can also go to one of the public voting devices, or mail in your votes with ID. You may vote by opening the QuickVote app, selecting the law, viewing the non-biased short video explaining the law and its effects, then selecting your first choice from the options (Pass the law, revise the law, remove/cancel the law) then selecting your second choice. Once finished you must compleate a retina scan to prove your identity.

The most controversial part of this system is the short video before voting. The goal of this video is to educate the voters, so they do not vote based on false information, but it is not always possible to provide an unbiased video. Some suggest using only scientific data, and some consider using only officially sourced data from both pro/con statements. Currently the method is a mix, using highly trained teams from all fields of work, to create the video. This process is usually the largest bottleneck of time, and it is not unknown for the directors to take bribes.
