Civic Action Component
Allows citizens to participate in elections and perform executive actions.
The Civic Action Component allows citizens to participate in Elections, perform Executive Actions, and resign from office, depending on which object is being used.
Participating in Elections
When using the Civic Action Component at a Ballot Box, citizens can run for Elected Titles and participate in elections.
By pressing the Vote button, players are redirected to the web interface where they can see all running Elections, discuss them with their fellow citizens, provide evidence for their arguments with Data, and vote.
Citizens who have been granted Veto power in the current Election Process can instantly overturn an election.
To run for elected titles, first an eligible citizen must use the Start Election action. Once an election has started, eligible citizens can select Enter Election to join the race and give a campaign speech. Candidates can opt to Withdraw from Election at any time using the option available on a Ballot Box.
Performing Executive Actions
Using the Civic Action Component at an Executive Office allows an elected title to perform one-time executive actions that affect a set of citizens.
The Citizen Conditions dictate which citizens the executive action applies to, and multiple conditions can be set for a citizen to qualify. To perform an action for all citizens, use the Demographic ‘Everyone’ as the citizen condition.
The Action on Each Citizen will take effect as soon as the executive action is approved. Multiple actions can be performed at once for each citizen who meets the conditions.
Government Office Actions
At the Government Office, the Civic Action Component allows elected titles to resign or remove other elected titles from office.
The Resign from Office action allows any elected official to step down from their position. If a Successor title was assigned to the Elected Title when it was created, a new official will be randomly selected from all citizens holding that title; otherwise the Elected Title becomes vacant.
The Remove Official from Office action allows citizens who have been given the authority to remove elected titles from office. The same rules for finding a successor apply as if the official resigned.
