RZ10 - The Corrected Disenfranchisement Act

Published in Clark #2

WHEREAS, a few years back there was some alarm over the ability of citizens to change their provincial assignment by nothing but an LZ, and
WHEREAS, it was agreed by most that the most efficient way to discourage this was a temporary, local disenfranchisement of such citizens, but
WHEREAS, the manner in which the Organic Law was amended to reflect that does not, on close reading, reflect that at all, and
WHEREAS, said new wording has pointlessly disenfranchised citizens who genuinely move house,
THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby authorizes a national Referendum to be held, to alter the wording of Article XVI, Section 2 of the Organic Law to the following (new text in bold): All Talossan citizens shall belong to the Province in which they live.
Citizens living outside of Talossa are assigned to a Province by the Ziu at the time of their naturalization by the Ziu, in accordance with a People to Provinces Act assigning people to provinces based on geographical criteria with all persons in a specific geographic area being assigned to the same corresponding Talossan province. Any citizen whose provincial citizenship is transferred, without an accompanying and corresponding change either in his place of residence or in the People to Provinces act, shall not be able to vote in the immediately succeeding election for the Government of the Province, nor shall he be eligible to participate, as an elector or as a candidate, in the immediately succeeding election for Senator from that province. However, he shall be eligible to stand for election as a Senator from that province in that election if no other qualified citizen is available or willing to do so.
