Political Parties Act 2013
Ruling Council
Act 2
This Act of Council creates the framework for political parties to exist in the Empire of Adammia and the way they interact with the rest of the political system.
A political party can be founded by any full citizen of the Empire by registering it with the Political Party Register managed by the Office of the Emperor. The Office of the Emperor shall discourage but not prohibit the founding of political parties that have identical political goals to an already existing party. The founder of a political party shall become its first President. Each party shall elect its President once a year in a fair vote from all of its members. The President leads the party. How the President runs the party and who is appointed to any other positions is to be managed by the party itself.
Any full or honourary citizen can join a political party. The party can pick out of its members from each Province its own candidate in Local Elections. In Local Elections, party members shall be recognised with the name of their party next to their name. Candidates who are not in a political party shall instead have “Independent” next to their name. The same shall apply in National Elections, in which parties may nominate out of their elected Ministers one who can run for the position of Prime Minister.
