| Message | Basically, this is following the law. If you vote "no", then you're refusing to follow RP, and it is unethical, unfair and technically against the Particracy rules. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
