The Senäts Election Amendment

Whereas Senäts elections are scheduled stricly to happend every three months

Whereas the term of Senators is supposed to be exactly 21 months

Whereas the election of senators are supposed to happend in the final month of the term of service of a senator

Whereas it as happened in the past and will happend in the future that Senatorial election do not occur exacly when schedule

Whereas the organic law is not clear as to what should happend in such a case

Whereas one of the most important section of any constitution is the method of electing the legislature

Therefore, the Ziu resolved to ammend the following articles of the Organic law:

Art. IV:Sec. 9. Elections for the filling of places in the Senäts shall be conducted by the Secretary of State, and until the Ziu otherwise provides, shall take place in the final month of the term of service of the senator currently occupying the place. The failure of any Province to elect or appoint a senator shall not affect the despatch of the business of the Senäts.

Art. IV:Sec. 10. As soon as may be after the Senäts first meets, the Senäts shall divide the senators chosen for each Province into seven classes, as nearly equal in number as practicable, such that senators for any given Province shall belong to the same class; and the places of the senators of the first class shall become vacant at the expiration of three months, and the places of each consecutive class three months after the vacation of the previous class, from the beginning of their term of service; and afterwards the places of senators shall become vacant at the expiration of twenty-one months from the beginning of their term of service.

To read as follows:

Art. IV:Sec. 9. Elections for the filling of places in the Senäts shall be conducted by the Secretary of State, and until the Ziu otherwise provides, shall take place in the final month of the term of service of the senator currently occupying the place. The failure of any Province to elect or appoint a senator shall not affect the despatch of the business of the Senäts. If in the final term of service of a Senator, no elections are called or appointment are done, th senator remains in office until an election is performed or a senator is appointed.

Art. IV:Sec. 10. As soon as may be after the Senäts first meets, the Senäts shall divide the senators chosen for each Province into seven classes, as nearly equal in number as practicable, such that senators for any given Province shall belong to the same class; and the places of the senators of the first class shall become vacant at the expiration of three months, and the places of each consecutive class three months after the vacation of the previous class, from the beginning of their term of service; and afterwards the places of senators shall become vacant at the expiration of twenty-one months from the beginning of their term of service. However, if the senator started his term of service later than the official end of term of service of the precedent senator, the term of service is reduced for the end of term of the current senator to occur exactly 21 months after the end of service of the preceding senator.
