[newclass=".w460"]width:460px;[/newclass]

The thirteen High Councilors could not be more pleased with the success of their first term. Undoubtedly there have been a few hiccups in the transition away from a singular president to the Rule of Thirteen but surely those have been minor compared to the continued stability and affluence of the nation.

The Councilors, true to their word, have launched yet another election with the current Quell. There's nothing politicians love more than keeping their campaign promises, after all. Every High Councilor, from the quietest to the flashiest, has the opportunity to run fo re-election. It's up to the Citizens of the Capitol to decide whether to keep them on. Or, will the tides turn once again to another form of government?

OOC notes:

Along side the Mayoral election, every Quell there will be an election within the Capitol for the members of the High Council. You may run for the High Council in addition to running for any mayoral position, although we are unlikely to award multiple bureaucrats to one writer. Each Councilors will be assigned a district liasion position.

You are welcome to run with a pre-existing character or write an original unbioed character. If you win a seat on the council, you must complete an extended bio and tag gm bourgeois decadence [aya] or myself to review.

This event will run through the end of April. The first event (first-round fundraising) will kick off today. The events' points and participation will be tallied as follows to determine the council members:

40% = Election Participation aka how many events completed
40% = Public Votes.
20% = Judge Votes.
