GENERAL WELCOME
(ShazWiki Link (http://wiki.freezoka.com/index.php/5th_Shazbotdom_Inter-National_Elections#GENERAL_WELCOME))
Welcome to the Elections for The Shazbotdom Empire. Today we will run the elections for several key positions within the Shazbotdom Government. Below is a listing of the people running for the positions as well as which position they are running for. The positions that are being fought for are extremely important to the lawmaking of the Shazbotdom Empire, which includes the homeland of Shazbotdom and the four colonies (Alraibris, Bolrasha, Halnara and Shazbotdom Miroxia).

Voting will be done via here. Please use the Ballot below. Fax your Ballots to the Shazbotdom National Election Offices. They will be scanned electronically into a computer where they will be counted. For voting purposes, we will only accept ONE vote per nation, this is to ensure the quality of the election from the viewpoint of the international community. Please note that the National Elections already have taken place, and the results of the National Election are in no way reflected by the Inter-National Elections. The Candidates are listed in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th posts in the thread.

The one thing that is known though is that with the election of a new Supreme Emperor, the Joint Chiefs of Staff will either be changed, or be disolved entirely. It is too early to tell which one it will be though.

The International Elections are just to see who the leadership of other nations, (be them hostile, neutral, or friendly) want to be the next Leadership Group of the Shazbotdom Empire.

If a nation wishes to remain anonymous with their voting. Their Ballot can be Telegrammed to the Shazbotdom Empire.

Socialist Shazbot – Has stated that a secure nation is one that gives it's people more freedoms.

He would continue to give the civlians more and more freedom to live their lives how they please, and would also help to promote more culture in the Empire.

Sherry Thompson

Continuing to keep the Parliament disolved, but also disolving the Joint Chiefs of Staff and taking control over all the different offices.

VOTING NOW OPEN!

Recent polls taken in Kahanistan suggest that roughly 80% support the Socialist Shazbot party across the board, despite their own nation's move toward a freer market economy under pressure from its recent disastrous wars which have ruined its economy.

Reasons given include gay rights as are enjoyed in Kahanistan, support for democratically elected governments in general, and anti-colonialism. Socialistic leanings are only a middling factor in the high percentage of support for Socialist Shazbot from the population of Kahanistan.

IMPERIAL ELECTIONS DIVISION
We must point out that you cannot 'Influence' this election process in any way. This is a standard Diplomatic Process in the Shazbotdom Empire and trying to bribe us with weapons is just plain disappointing. We will count your vote, but we will not take you trying to bribe us lightly. People from your company, as well as the nation you are based out of, are no longer welcome in the Shazbotdom Empire.

Democracy?You are teaching us about democracy?

My Administration is forbidden of entering in anykind of negotiations with those peasants from your country.

Thank you,

The U.D.S.C Management.

OOC:And do you know what "Secret IC" means?

"We commend the Shazbotdom's election policies of allowing leaders from other nations vote in their elections. This new practice sounds very unique, and we would like to experiment with it.

We will be voting single-ticket Socialist Shazbot for all the candinates, as that is who we like. Us socialists have to stick together, ya know..."---Dr. Bob, UN Ambassador for SilentScope003.

BUMP again

BUMP again



Time for the closing of the Elections has been changed. It will finish 19 December, 2007 at 5pm. This is due to the fact of me leaving for my vacation to IL a day early.

Last BUMP before End of Elections and Vacation.

Supreme Emperor- Shlitsga
Prime Minister of Alraibris- Carlson
Prime Minister of Bolrasha- Carlson
Prime Minister of Halnara- Fowler
Prime Minister of Shazbotdom Miroxia- Davidson

We believe that Socialist Shazbot will best serve its nation in a position of power. When will the election results be announced? On Dec 19th or later? A poll on the favourite leader internationally is, I ave to say, a good and interesting idea. Let's you know which countries are going to be the most cooperative in every given situation. One question- How much and what sort of power does the central government have over the colonial authorities?

OOC:
I'll probably notify of the results sometime between the 27th and the 30th. Right now i'm visiting family and I don't have files that I was running all the information through so I have to redo it at this point in time. I got busy and forgot to transfer it to my USB Jump Drive.

I know this next IC part is late, but here we go.



IC:
POLLS ARE CLOSED

Any and all information after the polls closed that is sent to the Shazbotdom Election Council will be denied.

((OOC: Huh-lol, I was so close to turning in my ballot before you closed the polls))

PRELIMINARY ELECTION RESULTS
Preliminary Election Results have been leaked from the Foreign Affairs Offce about the Election Results. The InterNational Election Results are open for anyone who wishes to know. But the National Election Results are still being tallied, even with them happening over 1 week before the International Election's being started. We will though leak a little information about the National Election. That will come a little later.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTION RESULTS
With some of the Ballots that came in, we had to split up the vote for certain spots. Vote turn-out for the International Elections were low, but we expect that it will be more next Election.

Supreme Emperor
Germand Schlitsga --- 4.5 --- 90%
George Benshin --- 0 --- 0%
Mr. Larry Williams --- 0.5 --- 10%
Sherry Thompson --- 0 --- 0%

PM of Alraibris
Gloria Z. Carlson --- 5 --- 100%
Father Henrick --- 0 --- 0%
Richard Harrington --- 0 --- 0%

PM of Bolrasha
Harold L. Carlson --- 5 --- 100%
Jefferson K. Smith --- 0 --- 0%
Joe. R. Transtrath --- 0 --- 0%

PM of Halnara
James Fowler --- 4 --- 80%
Justin Sherinoth --- 1 --- 20%
Amanda Bowerstone --- 0 --- 0%

PM of Shazbotdom Miroxia
Rochelle Davidson --- 5 --- 100%
Stephen Harmandth --- 0 --- 0%
Trance Blethgran III --- 0 --- 0%

PRELIMINARY NATIONAL ELECTION RESULTS
Voting Turnout was extremely high. With the new "Vote Online" Scheme that was initiated by the Shazbotdom Empire this year, a person signed into a web site with a Personal Identification Code. This new program caused all 100% of the Populace of the Shazbotdom Empire to vote. Although their votes depended on where they lived, someone from the mainland couldn't vote for the Colonial Athorities, and someone from one colony couldn't vote in another.

Supreme Emperor
It looks like the vote for Supreme Emperor will be decided by a less than 1% difference in voting.

PM of Alraibris
Very close. There is less than a 5% difference between two candidates.

PM of Bolrasha
Landslide. It looks that, unless a miracle happens, one of the candidates will win by an extreme majority.

PM of Halnara
Large gap. It looks like there is a major gap between two of the candidates. Unless something happens soon, one will win by more than a 40% gap.

PM of Shazbotdom Miroxia
Large gap. It looks like there is a major gap between two of the candidates. Unless something happens soon, one will win by more than a 30% gap.

FULL NATIONAL ELECTION RESULTS
After much calculation and recalculation in some aspects of the Election due to close percentages, the following are the FINAL results for the Shazbotdom National Election.

The Socialist Shazbot party swept the floor of the elections, except for the Supreme Emperor Election, in which the deciding factor was only by 0.01%. This is the closest an election has come in the History of the Shazbotdom Empire.

Winners are Italicised and Underlined.

Supreme Emperor
Germand Schlitsga --- 2,184,312,800 --- 31.11%
George Benshin --- 1,573,659,800 --- 22.42%
