Town Councillors Re-Election - Nominations (due: May 2020)

[ELIZA MARIE CUNNINGHAM]

It's been 4 years. We aren't just having an election once and then they get the position for life. It's time for another election for all of the town councillors!

If they were already town councillor, they will automatically be in the running. If you don't want your character to run again, please let me know.

We will only have voting for the sections where more than one person signs up.


-- No professors or Ministry employees.
-- You can have another job, though if you own a business, you will likely have to hire someone else to be the manager.
-- Your character doesn't have to be in Liberamach but will be an enemy of the Ministry.
-- They must live in Edinburgh, Lothian County (one of the three cities), or Yester Castle.


Councillors represent their area of expertise for their city or county. They have various meetings with people from their area and then bring proposals to the council when they meet every 2 weeks. The council then votes whether or not to pass the proposal.

City representatives represent their city in all manner of things, to bring issues regarding their city to the council meetings. They have their ears to the ground more to know the needs of their people.

Councillors tend to stick to their area of expertise, while city representatives are more general and will bring forward proposals that they feel most of the people are asking for.
