Consular Elections: Choice 1 Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

We prefer that our Consuls stand for election based on one of the following criteria. Other specifics such as length of term can be worked out once we decide this question. The question is, which do our citizens prefer: to have 1 Consul at a time stand for reelection, or have all Consuls up for reelection at the same time, with two of them assured of being returned. Both systems assure continuity as there would be Consuls continuing past elections where there may be new Consuls elected.

Options
A: One at a Time. Periodically (every month or two) one of the Consular seats will be up for election. The serving Consul may seek to keep the seat by running. All of the candidates are put in a poll. The winner is the Consul for that seat until it is time for that seat to be reelected, at which point the process repeats. On the next election date, the next Consular seat is up for election, and so for the third which is put up for reelection on the following election date. On the next election date, it would be the first Consular seat up for reelection again. As the longest serving Consul, I would face the polls first, should I wish to continue as a Consul.

B: All at Once. All Consuls would be included in the election poll for every Consular election, together with all other citizens who want to run. These elections would be held periodically (with periods to be defined). The top two vote getters of the current Consuls would be retained. The lowest vote getting Consul would have votes compared to the citizens. The one with the most votes would be elected along with the two returned Consuls.

C: Abstain.

In either case, elections and periods between elections would be defined later.

Abstain is included for those who have no preference. It will have no effect on the outcome.

This poll is set to last 7 days.

Most people should be familiar with the issues, but more information can be found below.

B.

The reason is that if the longest-serving consul goes up for a vote then it's always going to be nye running and hell, if I were a consul candidate facing nye, I would probably vote for nye myself!

Thank-you for the vote of confidence.

However, I would hold the first seat. That seat would be up for grabs every third election by Option A.

-shrug- I voted one at a time. My only reasoning for it is thinking it'll be bad for stability if the whole government changes at once. I don't really care either way though, thus I didn't post an argument :P

I abstained just because I wasn't entirely positive which one I'd like to see. I just didn't post that thought. Honestly, either way is fine with me.
