It's about that time already -- the next Whyville Senate Race begins this Sunday at noon! You must wait to post your platform in the City Hall Poll Booth until Sunday, May 23 at noon.
To prepare yourself for your run for the fourth-ever Senator spot, you might want to read City Hall's announcement of the very first Senate Race; BabyPowdr's article on what writing a political platform means; Minty0323's excellent description of "Platforms and Purposes"; and Sk8inhoti's piece defining what he thinks platforms should be.
Take a look at recent Times papers in the "Senate Race" section to read interviews with and articles about OrEoBaBy and Sonner.
You can also check out all articles with 'Senate' in their title and all articles with 'platform' in their title. Voters, please read Hermionez's recent article about how citizens should handle the election process; there are many other worthwhile articles about this topic.
Naturally, this coming election doesn't mean that OrEoBaBy and Sonner are out of a job already. We're going to have a real Senate, with many senators joining them. The plan is for senator's terms to last six months, so candidates, please be prepared to commit that kind of time to us. Thanks!
Again, the Senate Race begins Sunday, May 22 at 12:00 noon Whyville Time. Any platforms posted before then will not count. There are currently no restrictions on who can run, including previous senators and candidates.
The platforms will be voted on for a little over two weeks; the top 3 vote-getters should be posted in the Whyville Times on the weekend of June 12.
Ready? Set? Go!
