Well, today is the day.1 March 2018. The first day of final voting. 28 February 2018 was “technically” the last day of the primary elections. Originally, you should have already paid the fee for running for office and created you profile and platform for office. You also should have uploaded your CV/Resume and ID Card.
On 27 February 2018,
CEC Publishes Regulations on Final Voting for Members of Parliament
. This document outlines the voting for the 1 to 9 March timeframe and the fee promissory letter. This letter must be submitted during the 1 to 9 March time frame and must be paid by April 1
st
. Presumably the first Parliament of Asgardia will be announced/formed on 1 April 2018. I will have commend the CEC as they have given candidates, on a case by case basis, the option to make payment arrangements beyond the 1 April 2018 date.
Also, there is a significant new but reasonable requirement contained in the document:
“An official statement that is not older than two weeks issued by respective authorities of the country of residence that he/she has
no criminal record
.” Also, Agardia reserves the right to run an international criminal background check.
I believe we have really gotten to the point where the rubber is meeting the road and this shared dream of ours is about to take its first steps.
There has been plenty of surprises along the way and as I write this there may be one or two more but we must keep our eyes on Dr. Ashurbeyli’s and our collective dream. We must keep our heads high as this is something that has never been done. We are not putting forth career [corrupt] politicians. We are putting forth a Parliament of, for and by the people. It is a truly idealistic and fresh new approach to governance.
We the Parliament have much work ahead of us but together we can!
“Asgardia. One People and One Vision. Together We Can.”
