How long will Council Term Last?
The Duration of the Council consists for however long someone remains within that role. Unless it is Business & Citizen Elect. Those roles are voted in during the Mayoral Elections. The Mayor Reserves the right to remove Business & Citizen Elect should they feel they violate City Law or their Oath ot the City. This process is done by the Mayor declaring a vote for their removal within the Council. (Be sure to communicate OOC!)
Interested in rewriting, changing, adding, or removing laws? Then look no further than City Council! Business Elect & Citizen Elect are the representatives that Citizens seek out to sponsor their ideas for new laws. The Mayor is a figure head for change in the City! In addition, once a City Council member represents a Citizen, that Citizen can attend a Council meeting and pitch their idea for a change in law!
Before voting, the Mayor will submit a #Lore Inquiries Ticket in the discord to see if the law is possible through roleplay.
(Staff are usually up for most plots as long as they aren't Lore Breaking & Create Roleplay)
Once Staff give the greenlight, the Mayor will host an IC City Council Meeting & post a 3 Day Discord Poll in #City Council to decide on the Changes.
This gives every member a chance to vote on the topic whether they attended the meeting or voted digitally.
When the Poll ends, the YAY or NAY is decided on by highest vote (no ties). The Mayor will let staff know so the website can be updated! We will be sure to document changes by date and mayoral reign. Crossing out old laws so everything stays documented historically! These updates will go out during the Sunday Update Releases.
Special note, the RDA only gets 2 votes. Even though they have 3 ranks. If you need help as the Mayor doing a poll, contact the Event Admin for Assistance!
