SP Election Certified, But Announcement Slightly Delayed
According to a message on the Second Pride website, the results of the voting for the Marketing and Building Director have been certified by the Election Committee and passed on to the Chair for an announcement.
The Chairperson is out of the country at the moment, and you’ll see this announcement in-world and [...] on the website as soon as he releases it.
[Second Pride is] still looking to fill the Community Relations Director seat…more on that coming soon as well!

SP Elections: Last Chance to Vote!
The Second Pride elections end today at 12 AM (midnight) SLT. If you want a chance to influence the selection of Marketing Director and Building Director you need to get your vote in.
The candidates for Marketing Director are
1. Jimmy Augustus-Gracemount (jimmmmmy) url or
2. Kaiden Brandt (Kalculate) url
The candidates for Building Director are
1. Sтαятєя Ɛνєηѕтαяя (starter232) url or
2. Dҽʋιɳ Kɳιɠԋƚ Dɾαƙσɳ (devindevin1111) url
(The url's lead to each of the candidates statements at the Second Pride website)
How to decide whom to vote for
So how do you choose whom to vote for?
There are multiple techniques used by voters throughout democratic history to decide on whom they vote.
A) Beauty Pageant/Talent Pageant
This technique is mostly used by people who are completely uninterested in politics or ideology. They look at the pictures of the different candidates and decide on that fact alone which candidate they will vote for.
"They have beautiful hair/eyes/body/nails/feet", "They are so sexy", "I don't like their eyes, they look mean" or "I would do them", are the answers you most often get when you ask the voters how they decided.
B) Relationship
This method is usually used by voters more interested in relationships than politics/ideology. They will rather vote for someone they or their friends known and like than someone they don't know, and definitely, rather than someone they or their friends dislike for whatever transgression/reason through the history of mankind.
"I know them, they are an asshole", "They are good people", "My friend says they are batshit crazy and drama-seekers", "Their partner is a friend of my friend and they are so nice" or "variations of "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".
C) Analytical
This method is used by people who don't give a shit about anything else than if the person is qualified for the job. These are the people that will read the candidate statements and decide based mainly on that, and maybe check their references or previous work history.
"I trust they can do the job", "They seem to be qualified enough", "I've seen their work before and they seem trustworthy", "They seem to have the right priorities", "I like how they think".
D) Haphazard/Lottery
This method is good when everything else fails and you still see the choices as equally good or if all the above methods fail.
Flip a coin, and let that decide.
"I don't know any of them", "They both look great", "Both of them see qualified to do the job"
---
There now you do not have an excuse not to vote. Get the f*** off your ass and teleport to the Polling Place (SLurl) at the second pride sim.

You only have until 12.00 AM (midnight) SLT on September 26, 2018. The sooner you do it, the better it is (for my piece of mind). So go, just do it NOW!
Go here to vote: Polling Place (SLurl).

Pick up a ballot at the entrance and follow the instructions. It's easy-peasy.
