Announcing the 2010 National Witan Elections
As King of the Glorious Faedertellus I would like to announce the establishment of 2010s National Witan Elections. These come in following a great delay in any previous elections mainly due to the uncodified nature of our nation's consitution. Hence it has been left to me as the ruling monarch of this country to step forward and provide the people with their governmental representatives. All elections will be based in their relevant provincia using the Nova English Vote system. A brief explanation of this can be found further on. The elections will be commencing on the 11.08.2010 and will last a further week with the results of the elections being released on 18.08.2010.

The Nova English Vote System
The Nova English vote system is a mix between the classical First-Past-The-Post system with the more representative Proportional system. In that each Nova English Citizen shall be given two votes with which to elect a Witan member for their constituency as well as passing a vote to the party which they support. This then creates two levels of WM (Witan Members) the first is the local constituency member whilst the second is a party WM. Seats for Party WMs are then given out according to the proportion of votes that the party had secured.
