ELECTION INTEGRITY ACT OF 2016

By Act of Parliament, all elections after this Promulgation shall be submitted to the following regulation and oversight in order to protect the integrity and transparency of the democratic process of this Union.

/inserted/Article I://Inquiries

[1] BY act of Parliament, the Minister of Jurisprudence is hereby tasked with the responsibility of assuring the integrity of elections. [2] Therefore, the Minister of Jurisprudence is hereby invested with the authority to launch an investigative inquiry into voting trends or behavior that the Minister deems suspect.

/inserted/Article II://Request for Inquiry

[1] To launch an investigative inquiry, the Minister of Jurisprudence must first submit a formal Request for Inquiry to the Prime Minister (if the Prime Minister is the subject of the inquiry, then the request may be submitted to the President). [2] The Request for Inquiry will briefly indicate the identity of the suspected account, a list of potential voter puppets, and any trend or behavior that may indicate election fraud. [3] The Prime Minister (or President) will then approve or reject the request, attaching any comments, concerns, or advise deemed appropriate. [4] Having received approval, the Minister of Jurisprudence may then continue with the inquiry.

[1] The Minister is allowed to closely monitor the accounts listed in the Request for Inquiry but only those accounts. In case the Minister feels there are more accounts involved that weren't listed, he must resubmit the request with the new account names included. [2] The Minister may keep track of voting histories and activity levels, taking any necessary screenshots. [3] Finally, the Minister of Jurisprudence may submit an Unsigned IP Warrant to the Prime Minister (or President) for approval. [4] A Signed IP Warrant allows the Minister to order that the suspected person and suspected puppets make accounts on the regional forums whereby the Minister shall have access to their IP addresses for comparison. [5] The suspects shall be given up to two weeks to comply with the order, in which time the Minister may send several reminder telegrams; when time runs out, any who have not complied shall be found in contempt of the court and tried accordingly.

If a government official is the subject of the inquiry, an impeachment trial shall take place. [2] Trial procedures will follow the constitutional provisions outlined in Article II, Sections E and G; as well as Article III, Section E, Subsection 3, Clause b, as well as any court procedure laws or precedents established after this act's promulgation. /amended/[3] If Parliament finds the suspect guilty, the jury will order the Founder to eject the nation and puppets in question and ban them for a period of two months from the issue of the court’s decision. The jury may also vote to commute the sentence down to a minimum of 15 days, but the nation will not be permitted to vote or hold public office for the full duration of their two-month sentence. If the offender has been declared guilty of electoral fraud for more than two times, the maximum sentence will be a permanent ban from the Region, and at minimum shall be punished with double the normal maximum punishment.//[4] Finally, the Minister of Jurisprudence is required to release all evidence to the public and to issue a statement.
