CDS Election Update

In real life, on Tuesday November 6 millions of Americans went to vote in the "Mid-term" elections, voting for candidates in numerous political races for Congress, governorships, and local offices. In Second Life, The election campaign for the Confederation of Democratic Simulators is under way. On November 2, Lilith Ivory announced the list of candidates. The campaign officially started the following day.

Official list of citizens standing for office for the position of Chancellor:

?? Kyoko (samara.barzane)
Drewski Northman 

The following citizens are standing for office for one of five available seats on the RA:

Em Warden (emwarden)
Lady Kiki Whatever (inekeb)
Lyubov (20180414 Resident)
Rosie Gray
Tanoujin Milestone

In contrast to the real-life American elections, which were often full of political drama, the CDS elections appear much more low key. The guidelines given out state that campaign signs are limited to a few public locations. Going about, I did see a couple signs at public places. I noticed a number of signs for Kyoko, though none for Drewski Northman. Drewiski did hold a Q & A discussion in which a few issues were discussed such as outreach to other SL communities and bringing back some discontinued events.

The polls open on Saturday November 10 at Noon SL time, and will close a week later, on November 17. The election results will be announced on November 24.
