Should Electoral Commissioner United states of edingbridge remove the registration requirement for voters? We are of the belief that he should. This system will lower election turnout, increasing the possibility that the results will not reflect the will of the people. Upon reaching 20 signatories, this petition is required by law to be heard by the House of Commons and/or the Senate. (Fishergate)

oof im not bad
I am running for Prime Minister.
For experience, efficiency and empathy in the Prime Ministers Office, vote Rayekka this November!
REBUILDING THAECIA
My name is Rayekka and I am running for Prime Minister in the November 2019 Thaecian General Election. I am running for three reasons.
One, to rebuild Thaecia. Thaecia is facing harsh times, our regional nation count is down, we are still licking our wounds after a rocky summer of controversies and relationships in Thaecia are being stretched. I am committed to rebuilding Thaecia and making Thaecia a place anyone can call home.
Two, to fight for the people. There is nothing more important than the people. Thaecian residents are who make Thaecia so special and close to my heart. Residents bring humour, happiness and intrigue to Thaecia and it is important we encourage this behaviour so Thaecian can continue to be a welcoming, friendly and diverse region that has its very own unique place in NationStates. The people must be heard, and I am the ears that will hear them.
Three, to reinstall activity into everyday Thaecia. What is key to an active Thaecian RMB & discord is an active government. As Prime Minister I will build a team around me that is not only active themselves, but active in interacting with the community, providing government accountability, and creating events for Thaecians to enjoy.
By following these three core principles, I will work tirelessly rebuilding Thaecia for you and future nations to come.
I have been a Citizen of Thaecia since February 2019, near to Thaecia's founding. I have served in multiple key roles in Thaecia where I have helped shape Thaecia into what it is today.
My career in Thaecia began when I was elected a Member of Parliament to the first Parliament of Thaecia, in which I served as the first ever Speaker of the House of Commons. During my tenure as Speaker of the House, efficiency, thoroughness and hard-work were my key priniciples which lead the House to pass a number of excellent laws. Every law passed or rejected were subject to thorough discussion and scrutiny. . I served as Speaker for 3 months, after which I resigned and served as an Independent MP for a fourth month. During my time in Parliament I authored "L.R. 002 Ministerial Hearings Act" and "L.R.003 Parliament Procedures Act", two major pieces of legislation that ensure government scrutiny and laid out the foundations of Congressional Procedure. I also co-authored "L.R.001 The Thaecian Electoral Commissioner Act", "L.R. 006 Senate Procedures Act", "L.R.007 The Adjustment and Fixation of Thaecian Election Dates Act (AFTED)", and "L.R.009 Recall of Elected Representatives Act". To this date I continue to maintain and regularly update the Thaecian Law Registry.
After three months of serving as an MP I was humbled to be confirmed as the first Electoral Commissioner. I have served as Electoral Commissioner since May 2019 and have overseen one General Election, two Midterm elections and two snap elections. During these elections I ensured efficient, fair and democratic elections. I also hosted the Second Constitution Convention where I worked for over 10 hours and 4 nights with citizens and government officials from all backgrounds to create the 3rd Constitution which Congress and the public has recently passed.
My experience within Thaecia is unrivaled and my love for Thaecia is irrefutable.
For my Prime Minister run, I will be running as an Independent candidate. This means I will not be running for Prime Minister under any political party.
I believe it is important that someone impartial and someone who can encourage bi-partisanship leads our region during our healing process to make sure the appropriate legislation is passed and a unified approach can be achieved.
Over the summer, the "Summer slump" has hit Thaecia hard. The "Summer slump" is an annual event that occurs over summer where lots of nations cease to exist across NationStates and effects every region.
In Thaecia, we have gone from a record 350 nations and dropped to 250 nations. We have lost 100 nations over the summer. That is nearly 30% of the population! It is more important now than ever that we start an ambitious recruitment drive.
This will be done through investment into stamp recruitment and API recruitment. I will also be creating a new Government Department called the Ministry of Recruitment that will be dedicated to recruitment and boosting Thaecian numbers back to their former glory and beyond.
A large complaint I often see in the Thaecian RMB is that the current Cabinet is not active enough or does not interact with the community enough. With a Rayekka Government, this complaint will snap into dust. The first criteria for anyone to be in my Cabinet will be, are they an active, contributing member of Thaecia, interacting in the RMB and discord server? If they meet this criteria, only then will they be considered for my Cabinet. As well as this, I will make my Cabinet more accountable, ensuring they release frequent reports to the public. I will also re-purpose the Home Affairs & Culture Ministries to make sure all current and new nations are welcome and having fun. To continue an independent agenda, I will make my Cabinet have members from across the Political Spectrum, from both major and minor parties, as well as Independents.

Seeing as I'm sitting at a 6.5 approval rating, I'd like to ask anyone who voted (and is willing to say so, oviously), why they voted where they did. I hope this doesn't seem to strange to you guys, I just want to see what people think I should do, or stop doing, if that's the case. Many thanks in advance.

Thaecia has a history of Justice Ministers getting low approval ratings, that's not because they are doing a bad job though, it's just because the Justice Ministry rarely has anything to do, we only had to deal with 2 court cases so far. Don't worry about it, you are doing a fine job actually, it's just that many don't realise the JM doesn't actually have much to do.

Sign me up. The electoral registration system is just another barrier to entry to be able to vote, and is being implemented right before elections. If anything, we need electoral reform that allows more people to vote, not less. Say what you will about NS voting, but we had the most amount of voter turnout under it.
Your failure to complete failure to manage the TPU is one reason that comes to mind.

it didn't help that nobody else was interested in participating in the TPU. I did however set up how the party would be set up before they kicked me
