Following the disgrace and demise of the late and former president Coriolanus Snow, during the mid-80's, the High Council was first formed to fill the void: thirteen officials and bureaucrats who'd garnered support from the right places, lest the vacuum of power get seized by someone unwilling to cede it.

Now, the Council has been running things for a decade and due to its continued success, it will remain in place for another election cycle, with each of its members being required to run again against any others who feel they deserve a spot at the table.

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.

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 d10f ekta ram // [earthling] gm bourgeois decadence [aya] and myself to review.

This event will run through the end of January, with new events every few days. 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.

Citizen voting:

You may cast one vote in the Capitol if you have posted there as a Capitol citizen. Any posts made during the course of this event count towards this requirement.

Candidate requirements:

Minimum age: 25
Must be a Capital-born citizen of the Capitol.
In good standing, i.e., not have recently stayed in the Detention Center.
