Proposal:
1. Voting for each issue will be open for 72 hours.

2. A voter may vote YES, NO, or ABSTAIN, and may make comments or suggestions of improvements to the proposal, which may be utilized in a modified resubmission, or for a motion to change. A voter may also comment on the need for future proposals to supplement the proposal being voted on.

3. A failed bill can be immediately re-run for voting if modified to reflect suggestions. Bills rejected, still in the same form must wait a week before re-submission.

7. Motions include:
-Motion to extend: Extends voting period by 24 hours.
-Motion to end: Ends the voting period if at least five people have voted.
-Motion to change: Allows the proposal to be modified for clarity or adjusted during voting. Voters may change their votes if necessary, but votes before the changes still count if left unchanged.
