Icemule Trace Mayoral Election 5120

Election Details

Voting began on Friday June 26 at 2:37am ET and ended just after Midnight ET on Sunday June 28, 5120. Voting Booths were located in Icemule Trace in the meeting pavilion just outside Clovertooth Hall, allowing one character per account to VOTE, and available 24/7 to allow players the chance to log in and cast their vote.

To vote in this election, a character had to either be an Icemule Trace citizen, or be able to back a longstanding association with the town, one example being long-time members of the community who were shackled to shops elsewhere and thus ineligible for citizenship in Icemule Trace. Details were given as to how an eligible non-citizen could register to vote. To prevent abuse of the voting system, free-to-play accounts were barred from voting.

Five candidates were announced election winners for town council on the evening of 6/29/5120, and they were: Arianiss, Dayzed, Jastalyn, Kittai, and Kobane. A mayor would have been named at the same time. However, according to an official announcement by Election Coordinator Reiphe O'Mallory, a mayor could not yet be named because Clovertooth Hall caught fire. The ensuing chaos and fire damage cast doubt upon the mayoral vote tallies.

On 7/7/5120, an announcement was made about a public meeting of the Icemule Trace Town Council which will occur on the Day of the Huntress, 7/10/5120, 9:30pm ET, at the Icemule Trace Meeting Pavilion just outside Clovertooth Hall. A time was not set. This meeting's purpose will be to resolve last month's disputed mayoral election. The candidates for Mayor are Talliver Dabbings, Ellerel Barrowfoot, Hazelnut Honeybrook, and Walesca Wineberry.
