Further Polling Clarifications and Details
Polling
Clarifications
Baronial
pollings are not a democratic vote and do not necessarily determine who will be
chosen for a position. Rather, pollings provide a way for the Crown to hear and
consider the opinions of the populace on the matter of Baronial succession. The
Crown considers many factors when choosing new landed nobility, including the
results of the polling.
Candidate discussion
Try
to avoid candidate discussion on email lists. If you have questions for the
baronial candidates, contact them directly by email, not on a list, or talk to
them in person.
Candidate meetings
All baronial candidates must be available to meet with the Crown on Saturday, July 28, 2007 at Steppes Artisan.
Where to send commentary
The opinion poll form does not include space for written commentary, so any
commentary about the baronial candidates should be emailed directly to the
Crown at crown@ansteorra.org.
Do not send commentary to the Kingdom or
Regional Seneschal.
Who can fill out an opinion poll form?
Everyone:
member and non-members, residents and non-residents. If you are a member, bring
your membership card with you to the polling on August 27, 2007.
Mail-in opinion poll forms
Mail-in
opinion poll forms will not be accepted. If you have a dire and
pressing issue that prevents you from attending the physical polling on Monday, August 27, 2007, contact the Kingdom Seneschal.
Results of the polling
The
results of the baronial polling will NOT be made public. This is the
norm for opinion polls conducted in Ansteorra. The results of the polling will
be known only by the Regional Seneschal, the Kingdom Seneschal and the Crown.
The results will not be shared with anyone else: not the candidates, not the
current local landed nobility, not the populace, no one. Please
understand that the poll is a measure of your opinions, not a democratic vote.
The Crown alone makes the decision.
If
anyone has any questions, contact me directly at seneschal@ansteorra.org or
903-759-0488.
