The elections are approaching, and while we might not be registered on time, we will still be able to stand at least 5 candidates in electorates. The conference will give us a chance as a party to decide where to stand candidates, and how to select candidates. We will also discuss plans for our election campaign.
Another important event at the conference will be board elections. This will be the first time that elections are being held for the whole board, as previously elections were held for each position separately as required. Nominations are open until Aug 8, advance voting will be open from Aug 10 until the conference.
In other news, voting is now open on the first issue to be determined by the Policy Council – the term of copyright. This issue is the guinea-pig for the official Party Policy Development system in general, so if this first vote goes well, many more will follow in the coming weeks. Voting is open to all Pirate Party members, as is the discussion for formulating the various proposals. Two more copyright related issues are already in the discussion stage, with the other core policy areas due to follow later.
Last month, we finally applied formally to have our logo registered by the electoral commission. The logo has been open to comment for the last 2 weeks, with the deadline for comments at 5pm tonight. Tomorrow, the electoral commission will be “considering the application” and we anticipate that it will soon be registered.
