Election Results

Comitia Centuriata
23 October MMDCCLIV

Flavius Vedius Germanicus novaromanis S.P.D.

The final results of the recent vote in the Comitia Centuriata have been reported by the Rogatores and are as follows:

In the vote on the Lex Vedia de Tribuni, 85 centuries voted in favor, 15 voted against, 87 failed to vote, and 6 abstained. Fewer than 97 centuries having voted in favor of the measure, the lex does not pass.

In the vote on the Lex Vedia de Provinciis, 99 centuries voted in favor, 2 voted against, 87 failed to vote, and 5 abstained. More than 97 centuries having voted in favor of the measure, the lex passes.

In the vote on the Lex Vedia de Liberus Civium, 96 centuries voted in favor, 7 voted against, 87 failed to vote, and 3 abstained. Fewer than 97 centuries having voted in favor of the measure, the lex does not pass.

In the vote on the Lex Vedia de Correctione Incorporatonis, 98 centuries voted in favor, 1 voted against, 87 failed to vote, and 7 abstained. More than 97 centuries having voted in favor of the measure, the lex passes.

Those measures that passed will be presented to the Senate for ratification, as required of all measures that seek to amend our Constitution.

I must, at this time, express my disgust with the fact that not one Citizen in nearly half of our Centuries even bothered to cast a vote on these matters, which dealt with amending our very Constitution itself! To every Citizen who failed to vote, I say you should be ashamed of yourself. Thanks to your apathy, my little daughter, Julia Vedia, will not be able to enjoy the fruits of Citizenship.

Shame on you.

Valete,

Flavius Vedius Germanicus,
Consul
