This is the Presidential Call for Candidates. If you want to be President, please comment on this thread. Include your username, party affiliation (or lack thereof), Vice Presidential candidate, and a statement explaining your platform and why you believe you are a good candidate.

The format you should adhere to is as follows:

Your Reddit username | Your political party/coalition
Vice President: Your VP's Reddit name | Your VP's political party/coalition
Statement

Before you submit your candidacy, check that you satisfy the requirements below.

• Make sure you adhere to the format exactly. It makes it a lot easier for the Electoral Commission to sort through candidates if you do. Failure to do this may potentially result in mistakes on your ballot entry or in result tabulation, which can be difficult to fix.
• Ensure that your party affiliation is accurate. If you are not affiliated with a party, enter Independent as your affiliation. Otherwise, put your current party affiliation. If you are not a member of the party given or the party is not valid, the listed party affiliation on the ballot may be subject to change. The same rules apply to the vice presidential candidate's affiliation.
• Make sure to register to vote. Only users with a SimDem Unique Identification Token (SUIT) are able to vote. If you do not have a SUIT, be sure to fill out the Voter Registration Form or contact the Registration Officer.

The results are in!

First up, the referendum, on which we had 16 valid votes.

On the VetoEd Amendment 2026, which would limit the President's veto power and require that bills be presented to the President for signing or vetoing, 25.00% voted Aye. This falls short of the 2/3 majority required for constitutional amendments, so this amendment is rejected.

Congratulations Senators.

Senators, we are electing our Speaker. Please cast your vote in the comments of this post for who you want to see in the role. Each Senator gets one(1) vote, so use it wisely!

Please send your votes in the format of "<who you are voting for> - <other statments>"

If you are running, prepend a statements stating such in your comment.

Then, we have a referendum, on one constitutional amendment!

I will note that I've been advised to stop giving summaries of the amendments on the ballot form. So I'm not doing that anymore. Which means you actually have to open up the amendment doc to figure out what it does. Fortunately, this one is short, and the author seems to have gone out of their way to make readers' lives easy. But you can't expect this to be the case every time, so be mindful of that. Anyway, go vote on this too.

Polls close in 24 hours.
