To all Subjects and Friends of Austenasia, Greetings!

I am Emperor Alexander VI, the recently inaugurated sixth Emperor of Austenasia. I hope this message finds you in good health. We are publishing this announcement in tandem with the upcoming email distribution to announce that year’s General Election 2025 is officially here! These elections were called in early October, and we have a full slate of candidates standing for you to choose from. Ballots will be widely distributed to ensure that each eligible voter sees this form and is able to cast their vote in time.

Voting is open at any time from 12:01 AM UTC on November 17th, when an email will go to each person currently on our mailing list. The ballots will close on November 25th at 11:59 AM UTC, after which the election results will be promptly tabulated and announced.

Voting is open for Prime Minister and for the Diasporic List, representing all non-residential subjects within the Empire. Here is the attached ballot. It’ll be conducted through single-transferable vote, with the following Qualtrics survey as the method of delivery: https://qualtricsxmjw795xq7z.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dmBdOqwe6q8zhYy

If you are a non-residential Subject, this means you are eligible to vote for the representatives standing for election on the Diasporic List. Every person with the ability to vote may vote for the Prime Minister’s ticket. Please cast your vote and make your voice heard!

The form will automatically open and close at the times detailed above. Lord Sertor Valentinus is the designated Election Official for this year, and I will be overseeing all proceedings until their conclusion.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support!

Best Regards,
Alexander VI
Emperor of Austenasia

PS:

UPDATE, November 17th, 13:02 UTC: There were major technical and formatting issues with the last ballot that resulted in data corruption. A fresh one has been prepared. As this was the result of my own actions, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and take full responsibility.
