This election shall be concluded in three phases:
Phase one:
- During this phase, any OT denizen not under any criminal charges or convictions may register as a presidential candidate.
- Whomever wishes to apply as a presidential candidate should fill a registration form that will be provided later in this thread.
- Besides the required information, the future candidate may provide additional information about themselves or their future campaign, excluding attacks, bribery or any kind of manipulation against other fellow candidates.
- The registration form shall serve as your presidential campaign speech so additional information about your campaign is highly welcome.
This phase shall last for 7 days. No registrations will be accepted after the aforementioned period.
Phase two:
- After all the candidates have registered themselves, they shall be summoned to "OT Presidential Elections 2021 - Second Phase" thread to answer questions given to them by either OT Parliament or denizens whom choose to contact me and submit their questions to the candidates.
- If a candidate refuses or can't answer a given question, they shall be disqualified from running a presidential campaign.
- Do note that denizen submitted questions shall be sent to my ingame PMs (website chat) or legacy website inbox. Some questions may not be considered for being irrelevant or other undisclosed reasons.
- A denizen may submit the question to the candidates anonymously if they choose so.
Phase three:
- This phase shall begin after the second phase has completed, voting will be open for all OT denizens.
Each denizen (incl. candidates) can only vote for one candidate (or themselves if they run a presidential campaign).
- Denizens who had voted must confirm that they have voted in "OT Presidential Elections 2021 - Third Phase" thread.
- Each voter will be provided a unique token after they have voted. Once the results have been announced, a voter may find whom they voted for by their token listed in the voting results.
- The voting period will last 7 days and the most voted candidate wins the election.
- Candidates are allowed to create further campaign speeches during the voting either in this thread or as a separate thread. (Example: "Eriri4Prez", "Best Girl Eriri's Presidential Campaign Speech.", et cetera.)
Registration form and campaign rules.
Registration form:
- Introduction. (Username, position in OT, which OT generation are you from, etc.)
- Registration reason.
- Past OT experiences: (Honestly, anything notable you had done at OT.)
- Your vision of OT as a President.
Election rules:
- Buying votes, bribery or any action that undermine fairness of the election are prohibited. Anyone found in violation of this shall be immediately disqualified.
- A denizen may only vote once, even themselves if they run their own campaign. However, anyone found commiting vote manipulation using clones or any other means of population inflation to increase their votes shall be disqualified.
- Anyone who uses clones or any other means of population inflation to increase candidate's votes shall be arrested by OT Police and disqualified if found to be an OT Presidential Candidate.
- Candidates are prohibited from cooperation between themselves.
- Treat everyone properly and keep it civil. You obviously have a right for free speech and expression of yourself, but you shall not use those rights to attack a candidate with slander or any other way to undermine someone's presidential campaign. Constructive criticism is welcome, however.
Candidates found to be in violation of those rules shall be disqualified. This may take one of several infractions, depending on their severity.
