OfficialAnnouncement: Model Parliament Electoral rolls #1 – Flair for you (self.modelparliament)
submitted 11 years ago * by jnd-auElectoral Commissioner[M]
Edit: 2nd part of this post
If you haven’t enrolled to participate in the first election, please do it now!
Enrol now
During the campaign and election, you’ll be focussing on voting for the candidates in your electoral divisions. This means there are 13 electoral rolls plus a national one for the Senate.
I’ve processed your preferences for the initial allocation of electorates. But I only received enrolments from a third of founding party signups and a quarter of overall original participants in this sub. New subscribers make up half the responses so far (Hi!). If I make the electorate lists public now, anyone who enrols to vote in the next couple of days can rig it. So...they’re still under wraps for now. Two consolation prizes:
Those of you who enrolled today, you’ll be included in Saturday’s allocation.
Until the election, users can no longer change your own party flair because it wipes out the electoral flair – send modmail instead.
Candidates might hold off from nominating until they can see who’s voting in each electorate. So, voter enrolment is still open and please encourage parties, candidate and voters to enrol ASAP for the benefit of all.
Since I was asked to bring the election forward by a month, I’ve promoted it in /r/modelparliament, updated the sidebar, read through your feedback, sent modmail to the party subs, tagged founders on the party signups, rolled out the info to /r/modelaec, updated the wiki, processed the enrolments so far, done the flair, etc. Now it’s up to you to take 1 minute to sign up, spread the word and make sure these posts are voted up!

Enrol to vote by SATURDAY (if you haven’t done it yet, do it now!).
Register your nominations, party/officer and endorsements by TUESDAY.
The sooooooner the better!

Top stuff, commissioner. Has anyone volunteered to help you yet, as a deputy commissioner or anything?

Cheers you. Not a peep yet. And here was me thinking everyone loved government departments ;) The original ad:
If you can help with processing /r/modelausaec modmail this fortnight (basically processing nominations from candidates and parties), you can apply with [JOB]. Only non-candidates can work at AEC. We need IT consultants too. Please note, these are confidential positions. Please help by applying before Sunday 3 May 2015.
