The icon doesn't show on all State Minister's profiles for me. I can't see the icon on Angelina Diamond and Orientina's profile.I couldn't see it on all of the Senators or SM's profiles either. Some of them, yes, but not all of them. & some of the ones that I was able to see were saying the person hadn't opted-in to the voting or supplied an electoral programme. & I can still see yours too, Iulja. (& I wasn't even looking at just the Senators & SM for our state either, I looked at a few from different states & it was very hit or miss as to whether I saw it on their profile or not.
Because they're not Senators anymore. Occurs that I was wrong.I took a look at the same Senators & SM's profiles I was looking at before & it turns out that if they are just Senators, or SM's who are both an SM & also still a Senator then their status on whether or not they've opted into the voting will show up. If they're just an SM & not a Senator than it doesn't seem to show up at all though. The only exception to any of that seems to be you, Iulja. As I said, I can still see your political status icon (& it still says you aren't opted-in to the voting, but I can see it). Though, as I said, I can see other people's political status whether they've opted in or not, but all of those people are Senators (& some are SMs).
I opted to participateIts my desire to have monthly state activities and participation from all Antitheocra citizens. I have lots of fun Ideas and welcome creative input from everyone. leadership is only as good as its citizens. we are not an anarchy or dictatorship here. We can be a participating democracy instead
Once you've been Prime then you can't become a State Minister again, right? That's what my wife was saying in regards to whether or not Bebe would be running for SM, anyway...I'm running for State Minister. that position didn't exist when I was Prime Bimbo

That's what the democratic process is all about, right? Participation and choosing the best candidates from those available.

That's exactly what a democracy is the ability to freely choose the leader and participate in a free and fair process. I believe My Opponents are qualified and I hope to see them post their Thoughts and Ideas here as it will help the citizens vote for their candidate of choice in an informed way.I am sure they have great platforms .I am a voter and would like to be able to make an informed choice.

Yeah, I hope they'll post here before the elections too, just so we can hear a little more about their stances and their platform as well. Personally I've already gone to all of their pages and read the electoral programs that they entered, but it would be good for them to join the discussion and be able to give us voters more details. Like you said, as a voter, you definitely want to keep informed about all the different candidates and their platforms so that you can make an educated decision on who you're going to vote for. There's only a little over 2 and a half days until the election now...hope to hear more from at least a couple of them (if not all of them) before then.That's exactly what a democracy is the ability to freely choose the leader and participate in a free and fair process.
