This proposal passed in the Senate of Yamatai in YE 30 unanimously after it was submitted by Tange-Katsura Ayana.

1. To update our voting procedures to better reflect the fact that the Senate governs only the civilian sector and the military governs itself for the most part.

1. Removal of the point voting system's proposal #4 of the original Voting act.

(Proposal #2, Updated by Proposal #32)

Purpose: 1. To establish a method in which the votes are cast regarding Proposals.

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.

4. The votes have a point value as follows: Star Army Taisho: 5 Points Star Army Chujo, Corporations: 4 Points Star Army Taisa: 3 points Star Army Officers, Enlisted: 2 Points Star Army Citizen: 1 Point

5. At least two votes must be made on a side for that side to be successful.

6. A voter whose vote counts 3 points or more may make a motion. In order for a motion to be successful, it must be seconded and unchallenged.

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.

8. Any person submitting a proposal automatically votes YES for that proposal, unless she is submitting the proposal for another person. In that case, they must state the author.

Now that the Senate represents the colonizes planets and holdings of Yamatai as a whole, it is not accurate nor fair to give the military more power over the civilian sector than the civilians themselves.
