Liber II. On Elections

TITULUS I. General Principles

Right to Vote. Every Civis Juvantiensis has the right to vote.
On-Chain Legitimacy. Elected offices (Consul, Senator) are granted exclusively on-chain. It is technically impossible to hold these positions without a corresponding record in the immutable registry.
Direct Democracy. Elections are direct; citizens vote directly for candidates.

Consul Urbanus.
- The head of executive strategy and external representation.
- Term Length: 4 months.
- Term Limit: A citizen may be elected Consul no more than 3 times.
Senatus.
- The legislative body consisting of 8 Senators.
- Term Length: 6 months.
- Term Limit: A Senator may be re-elected an unlimited number of times.

Senate Elections.
- Each citizen is granted 8 votes.
- A voter must cast votes to fill all 8 seats (or fewer, depending on the specific voting protocol adopted for the session, but typically one vote per seat).
- The 8 candidates with the highest number of votes become Senators.
Consul Elections.
- Round 1: A candidate is elected if they receive more than 50% of the votes.
