Retrofire Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Detachment Election Information Should a Q&A be needed for the Detachment Elections, I will create one per Legion rules and notify the detachment members of it’s location. NOTE: You must have an affiliation with the detachment listed in your 501st member profile in order to vote in that detachments elections! We cannot check on your 501st profile so if you have questions you need to reach out to your Garrison GML or other member of command. The LMO locks down the membership database before the elections start allowing no changes so please make sure you verify this sooner than later. 501st Elections Thread: https://www.501st.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=287 General Election Information Legion Elections are in approximately two weeks. Soon, every member of the 501st will have the opportunity to exercise their Imperial right to choose their leaders, at both the local and the global level.

Retrofire Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 These are the same rules that the Legion has defined for the LCO Election. I am posting it here for clarification and transparency. I want to personally encourage members being involved in the election process for the LCO, your GCO, and DL (if applicable). Rules for the 2022 DL Candidates Question Thread Not knowing these rules will not be considered an excuse for breaking them. 1. Duplicated questions, even if using different phrasing/words, will be moved. 2. There is a thread for single questions and a thread for multiple / essay questions. Posts will be moved accordingly if posted in the wrong thread. 3. Flames, baits, and passive-aggressive, leading questions designed to embarrass, humiliate, or otherwise maneuver a candidate into a corner may be moderated. There is a locked thread that duplicated questions will be moved to. This thread is in complete view to all within the Elections Forum. Read all questions before you pose yours. Use courtesy and limit your questions, keeping them brief so that all members may participate. Candidates are encouraged to read ALL three question threads to answer questions from. It is entirely up to the Candidates whether to answer all, some, or even none of the questions posed from either thread. Harassing or baiting/flaming a candidate for not answering a question is not permitted. Non-answer is an answer of itself that members may make of it as they choose. If a Candidate's answer is not pleasing, then goading, baiting, or badgering into an argument is not permitted. Take the answer, make your personal judgement from it, and move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofire Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 All, While the voting in some detachments and Garrisons is over I would encourage you to continue to be involved in the Legion level elections and detachment/garrison elections if those are applicable to you. It is your right to have your voice heard. Please see the earlier post in this thread for a schedule of events to keep yourself informed. It's an honor to serve you all as your CoG/DCA and I look forward to interacting more with the current members and our new ones in the coming year!
