ITEM II - Annual elections 2763 - SCU on the electoral legal system - prorogation

The text

In view of the Constitution in its article V.E, relative to the issue of senatus consulta ;

Considering the difficulties currently met in the working of the electoral IT tools, and the fact that Nova Roma institutions must not depend on any external system which would prevent them working normally ;

Considering that it is necessary to set a temporary system, as simple as possible, that would not depend on any external or technical assistance, but will work in the normal frame of Nova Roma daily channels of communication ;

Considering it is necessary, for this, to adapt our existing laws to set this simple and efficient system ;

the Senate of Rome decides:

Article 1 : The consul maior is invested of the power to modify, by edictum, the current legislation relative to the electoral system of Nova Roma (tools, proceedings, etc.) in order to adapt it to the creation of an electoral system which, as simple and efficient as possible, will allow Nova Roma institutions, and specially its comitia, to go on working normally without the assistance of the current IT system.  

Article 2 : This investment is limited in time and will last no more than fifty (50) days from the publication of the current senatus consultum ultimum by the presiding magistrate. The application of the electoral system set by the consular edictum is temporary and shall not last later than the date set in the consular edictum and, at worst, than pridie Kal. Ianuarias 2764 auc.   At the end of this temporary period, the legislation shall come back to its current state or in the state that new legally adopted provisions would have defined.  

Article 3 :– The consuls are charged of the good execution of the present senatus consultum, which shall be applicable from its publication on, and be included in the Tabularium Nova Romae (Senate section).
