Elections in Arlor! | Debate 1
Hello and welcome to the first part of the first debate!
PROCESS
The poll above has a few possible debate topics. Vote on your favorite. After the deadline passes (and this poll closes) the top two (2) favorites will become the debate questions. Candidates and their running mates will work on their "speech" and then PM me their response. It will then go to another public vote and the top five will move onto the next round.

Thursday, May 26, 2016 at 6:00 PM PDT.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I can't get a hold of my running mate! What should I do?
A: If I do not get a message from either the presidential candidate or their running mate before the deadline, you will be considered as a "drop out" and will not be considered for the voting.
Q: Who can vote in the above poll?
A: Anyone.
Q: Am I still able to register as a candidate?
A: No; the deadline has already passed.
Q: I registered as a candidate before the deadline but don't see myself listed on this page or the discussion thread. What gives?
A: Entries that were missing required content (ie: you didn't list a running mate) or were inappropriate were automatically removed from running.
Q: I don't like any of the topics that you have listed. Can I suggest a new debate topic?
A: At this time, no. However you are welcome to message me with your suggestions PRIOR to the second debate thread.
Q: I think something is fishy with the poll. How can I report it?
A: Please send me a message with your concerns.
What happens if there is a tie?
A: I will break the tie(s).
Q: How exactly will the debates work?
A: After the community has chosen the two topics, I will PM both the running mate and candidate with the prompt. From there you and your running mate will have to coordinate an answer by the deadline. If you do not respond by the deadline you will be considered as a "drop out" and will not be considered for the voting.
Q: For the debate, can we "talk smack" or "trash talk" about our competitors?
A: No. All discussion must remain civil and appropriate. Focus on your strengths as a candidate. Any rude content will be moderated and is subject to disqualification.
Q: How exactly will the voting work?
A: After the candidates have responded, I will create a new thread with a poll for which the community (and the candidates) can vote on. There will be a deadline for the vote and the top 5 (for round 1) and top 3 (round 2) will move onto the next round. The votes will be PUBLIC in order to discourage dummy account voting. Spacetime reserves the right to adjust the polls if there is any suspected foul play.
