Passed 5-0.—Kevan

Adminned at 23 Jul 2006 04:43:08 UTC

Add a new Local Rule entitled “Electronic Voting (1995/1/1)” to the Ruleset.  Give it the following text:

A Traveller may vote on any Local Proposal with a Locale that is both:
A)After the Locale of this Rule, and
B)Within 50 years of eir TL
regardless of eir Range.  E may also vote normally.

And yes, this is a Local Proposal so please check your Range before voting.

Hang on a minute.  “E may also vote normally” gives people 2 votes.  I don’t think that’s a great idea.

Of course e may vote twice, but only the second vote counts.

Does this proposal not change that?  It looks like it does to me.

Ruleset: “If a Traveller casts more than one Vote on a Proposal, only the most recent of those Votes is counted.”

Sorry, I thought there was a rule saying that later proposals took proprity over earlier proposals but I can’t find it (must be in another nomic - gasp).

In the lack of such a statement, I think your explicit quote overrules any implicit 2-votes-allowed in your proposal.
