This law expands upon the the protocols for revising, adding or removing the 
laws of Mileth. These protocols are in addition to those defined in the 
Mileth Charter.

I. Legislative Revision Procedures

A. When a proposal is ready to be opened for voting, it must be placed on 
the Demagoguery Board in the exact format and text in which it is to appear 
on the Mileth Law board. Spelling corrections that do not alter any meaning 
are permitted with the approval of another legislative official.

B. A post declaring the proposal open for voting must accompany the 
proposal. This post must go on the Demagoguery Board and include the 
following information:

1. Changes, if any, to an existing law.
2. Laws that it will replace (revision) or that will be removed.
3. Date at which the voting opens/closes and voting requirements.

D. Votes must be posted on the Demagoguery Board while the proposal is open 
and before it is closed to be considered valid.
 
E. There are three ways a Demagogue or Burgess may vote:

1. Aye: They support the proposal.
2. Nay: They do not support the proposal. A valid, relevant explanation must 
be provided.
3. Abstain: They choose to remain neutral in the proposal. Abstain votes do 
not calculate into the total votes cast.

F. All proposals require a 51% majority vote to pass. 

G. Proposals are open for voting for two moons.

H. An official who proposes legislation is not required to vote because it 
is assumed that they support their proposal. The official who proposes a 
proposal may withdraw the proposal before voting is closed.

I. Once the defined voting period has ended, the proposal must be declared 
"closed for voting" on the Demagoguery Board. This post must declare whether 
the proposal passes or fails, while following the regulations above.

II. Exceptions 

A. If a legislative official is unable to post on the Demagoguery Board, 
they can propose legislation or vote by proxy (another official, a sibling 
who has board posting rights, a Knight, etc) or post on the political 
discourse board.

B. Should the original legislator who proposed legislation no longer be in 
office at the time the voting period ends, any legislative official may 
close the proposal.

C. Right of Burgess

1. A Burgess may close any proposal after one moon has passed since the 
proposal was opened if all legislative officials in office during this time 
have voted "aye." 

2. If there are any "no" or "abstain" votes, or lack of an official's vote, 
this ability is void and the proposal must remain open for its original 
voting procedures.
