Ch. 47 New Voices

Elric said that the election would be held in one month, and added a fourth rule that said he had final say in who was elected. This was mostly done in case of a tie or not clear winner. At that time seven new voices would be elected, one for each of the territories. Because Odis and Ethel were quite old, Elric was going to use the premise of letting the subjects vote for their Voice of the People as an excuse to let them retire.

The month passed by quickly with many people making banners promoting who they thought would be a good choice for the Voice of the People of their territory. A week before the election was held, the announcement was sent out indicating the voting locations in each territory. To make it easy on those trying to vote and for he looks to be collected in a timely manner three locations for chosen in each territory, with one being the old capital of that territory.
