I submit the following proposal: Title: Termination of Candidacy Adoption index: 2.0 Author: Publius Scribonius Scholasticus Co-authors:
Amend Rule 2154, "Election Procedure" by changing the paragraph beginning, "When an election is initiated," to read in full: When an election is initiated, it enters the nomination period, which lasts for 4 days. After an election is initiated and until nominations close, any player CAN become a candidate by announcement. A candidate ceases to be a candidate if e ceases to be a player during the election or if holding the office would make em Overpowered. During the nomination period, a candidate CAN cease to be a candidate by announcement if there is at least one other candidate.
