Lets discuss how long a senate members term should be. THESE ARE FOR ELECTED SENATE MEMBERS - NOT APPOINTED ONES Currently the choices are 3, 4 or 6 months. |

i say 4 its middle ground between 3 and 6 3 is kinda short and doesn't let the members feel like they have achieved anything 6 seems really long and new people will get tired of this |

^lol. I agree that 3 months is too short as well, 4 moths is an ok length, and 6 months is best. However, I would look at it like this, how many elections do we want to hold, and how far away do we want them? The more frequent the elections, the fewer people will vote because they feel like they can always vote, "next time" |

Ya, in the beginning of the region we had delegate elections every week!!! lol I think four months is best... if it were six months new nations would get discouraged because there would be no way they could get an important job until HALF A YEAR after they joined... 4 months is good... and once we get 200 people another senate spot will be formed so elections will be a little less than every 4 months... |

Well we could always break it up and only have one seat up for election at a time, that way we would have more elections, thus allowing more people to participate, but then we also won't have a whole group of new members at one time. That way there will be some continuity. |

Ok, if it is clear with the current members of the senate we can finally ratify that Senator elections will take place every 4 months. AYE NAY ABSTAIN With 4 AYE this vote will be considered passed. |

I think this debate should be resubmitted, we should have it written in the more modern form of proposal reproposed and redone, just me though |
