Pursuant to Article III, Section 3(2) and 3(3) of the Scroll of Ma'at, the Council of Scribes is is responsible for electing a Chief Vizier to preside over the Council of Viziers and to set its executive domestic and foreign agenda in the name of the Pharaoh. Any citizen* is eligible to run for Chief Vizier. In order to run for Chief Vizier, a citizen must:
1. Accept nomination or declare their own candidacy in this thread;
2. Post a conflict of interest disclosure that includes all regions and organizations with which the candidate is currently involved as a citizen or equivalent member, as well as all offices and/or military ranks held in these regions and organizations, if applicable. Conflict of interest disclosures may be included in a candidate's campaign thread, but must be posted even if the candidate does not post a campaign thread.
To withdraw from candidacy, a candidate must withdraw candidacy in this thread or, if withdrawing after nominations have closed, in a separate thread posted in the Election Precinct subforum. This can include the candidate's campaign thread, if applicable.
Nominations will close at 7:00 a.m. EDT on September 28th, 2017, after which voting will begin.
