Union Constitution

People's Councils Election Laws: Any Citizen of the Union, over the age of majority and at least two years under the age of retirement has the right to be elected to their local People's Council (PC) for a two-year term. Any Member of a PC (MPC), at least two years under the age of retirement, has the right to run for re-election to his current PC, with the electorate being all the one level lower MPCs, except for the local PC, for which the electorate is the population represented by that local PC. Any MPC, at least two years under the age of retirement, except if also a MPCSU, has the right to be elected to a higher-level PC to which their current PC belongs, instead of running for re-election to their current PC. Each election to a higher-level PC is held two weeks after an election to the one level lower PCs. The candidates for each election are members of the higher-level PC running for re-election and old members of the lower PCs that did not run for re-election in their PC. Any candidate that does not secure a seat in a PC, either by re-election or by running for a higher-level position, while also previously being a member of a PC, is demoted to a PC one level lower than the position they held since the last election. If petitioned by at least 100 Citizens of the Union that are of age, a vote is put forth to demote or to kick out a MPC. The vote is carried out by the PC the member belongs to. If at least 75% of the PC vote for it, the vote is put to a direct vote by all the citizens that are represented by that PC. If at least half the population vote in favour, the aforementioned measure passes. If the PC votes unanimously for the measure, the vote is not put to a direct one and carried out immediately. Party Election Rules: Any Citizen of the Union, over the age of majority, with at least 5 years of continuous work experience, has the right to apply for a membership to their PlSP. The Party Entrance Commission (PEC) of the PlSP reviews the application and if deemed reliable, the candidature is put to a vote by the PEC PlSP. If the vote succeeds, a vote is then carried out by the CC PlSP during the next monthly session. If it also succeeds, the Citizen becomes a member of their PlSP. Any Member of a PlSP (MPlSP), has the right to apply to their Local Committee of the PlSP (LC PlSP). The electorate is the LC PlSP itself. The vote is carried out during the next monthly session. If the vote succeeds, the MPlSP become a member of the LC PlSP. Any Member of a Committee of a PlSP, unless a member of the CC PlSP, has the right to apply to a higher-level Committee of their PlSP to which their current Committee belongs. The electorate is the higher-level Committee. The vote is carried out during the next monthly session. If the vote succeeds, the candidate becomes a member of the higher-level Committee of the PlSP. Any MPlSP has the right to apply for a membership to the SPU. The PEC SPU reviews the application and if deemed reliable, the candidature is put to a vote by the PEC SPU. If the vote succeeds, a vote is then carried out by the CC SPU during the next monthly session. If it also succeeds, the MPlSP also becomes a member of the SPU (MSPU). Any MSPU has the right to apply to the CC SPU. The electorate is the CC SPU itself. The vote is carried out during the next monthly session. If the vote succeeds, the MSPU become a member of the CC SPU. Exceptions No more than 1/5 of a PC can be MPlSPs/MSPUs. No MPlSP/MSPU can be a Member of a Party Committee while also being a MPC. No more than 1/5 of a Committee of a PlSP can be MSPUs.
