Prime Minister

Prime Minister (PM), was an elected staff and GRS rank on the Vortex Coalition Discord server. The responsibilities of the Prime Minister included being a representative for lower ranking members of the Vortex Coalition as well as organizing group events and bases.

Election
Prime Minister elections were primarily held in #election where candidates could debate one another and other members could interact with PM candidates in a political setting. The actual voting occurred in #member-announcements via a reaction based system. Whoever had the majority of votes by the deadline would become Prime Minister. The Prime Minister initially had a term of one week, but was later extended to two weeks and eventually one month. There were no term limits on re-election bids.

Phase III PM Opening Announcement
"Tomorrow, The Vortex Coalition will hold the first Prime Minister election of Phase III.

''The PM will be the voice of the people, meaning they will be the elected representative and leader of Initiates and Members. The PM will also be heavily involved in recruitment, spawn activity, and Initiate/Member bases.''

Those who will be running are free to campaign in the #deleted-channel chat until 9:30pm EST tomorrow (Tuesday).

''The Prime Minister will have a term of one week, then they may run for a second term, but after that term (if they win) they may not run again for a variable amount of time. VIP and above cannot run for Prime Minister. VoCo Staff members can endorse candidates, but cannot vote. Please ensure you are serious about the role of Prime Minister before campaigning''"

Phase IV PM Ending Announcement
"The Vortex Coalition is hereby discontinuing Prime Minister Elections.

''This decision was made due to excessive F.U.D. and negativity being thrown around in chat, just for the sake of trying to earn votes. Unfortunately, most candidates seem to campaign with a basic platform of "everything is terrible and broken and I will fix it," which is highly exaggerated or in many cases false, thereby violating multiple sections of the Anti-F.U.D. Policy and/or Anti-Toxicity Policy.'' Therefore, we will be implementing new systems to take the place of the Prime Minister role and Tuesday elections soon. Our current Prime Minister Ross will remain Prime Minister until her term ends Tuesday the 31st."
