Presidential Election Act 17/08/20

Presidential Election Act
Recognising that the terms President and Vice-President are typically used for separately elected positions
Noting that in The Slide Countries, these terms are used for cabinet positions, typically given to the two highest-ranking members of the ruling party
Deciding that it is important to use accurate terms and for the political process to fit with the names for officer roles.
Hereby implements Presidential Election Act
1. The President and Vice President positions will be decided by presidential elections (not partisan/general elections).

2. The presidential elections will, to avoid creating a third, unnecessary, election season, almost coincide with the general elections. Therefore the presidential elections will take place seven days before the scheduled general election.

3. a) Any member of the region (one per person) may stand for the position of President. They must make the Cheif Voting Officer (Orennica at the time of writing) aware of their wish to compete at least one week before the presidential elections.
3. b) A candidate may compete as an independent candidate or for a party that they are a member of.
3. c) Specific parties may choose to sport just one candidate in the election so as to not split the vote. This is up to the party, as is the decision of who is prioritised, however other members of the party may still run independently. They will, of course, not have the benefit of being the official candidate for their party, however.
3. d) If a party has seven official members or less, they may install the President in a cabinet position.

4. A presidential candidate must announce a running mate, who, if the presidential candidate were to win, would become the Vice-President.

5. Prohibits the Glorious Leader from running for President or as a candidate’s running mate.
