Petition to Clarify Voting Rights

[Antonio Lixhita]

Petitioner: Antonio Lixhita, a Citizen of the Republic

Whereas Antonio Lixhita, a citizen of the Republic has been assigned to the Province of Florenciâ, and

Whereas, the Constitution of Florenciâ (http://www.talossa.org/oldwitt/www.talossaonline.com/104.289.0.html ) forbids new citizens from voting for a term of three months during what is called a "settling period", and

Whereas Antonio Lixhita is not a new citizen, but a returning citizen, and

Whereas the Governor of Florenciâ is unsure as to the standing and voting rights of a returning citizen vis-à-vis the Constitution of Florenciâ, and Florenciâ lacks a court system, the petitioner requests:

That El Cort Înalt, the High Court of the Republic, clarify the voting rights of Antonio Lixhita within the Province of Florenciâ.

The petitioner points out that since the Constitution of Florenciâ does not specifically address the voting rights of returning citizens, that the default position of the Federal Government, that is immediate voting rights to those returned to citizenship status as outlined in Chapter 5, Section 2, 4(e) of the Federal Code, should be applied in this case.

Estimat cxhn.:

Thank you for your petition. As Temporary Bogus Clerk of the High Cort, I have relayed your petition to our Justices in their undisclosed location, thousands of miles beneath the earth's crust.

I have heard your cries, Talossa! I arise to take a snifter of brandy, a puff of my cigar, and a perusal of your problems. Let me confer with the Grand Vizier known as Eif and we shall come up with some sort of solution that is at once fair, solid, and will swiftly allow us to return to our slumber in as an expedient manner as possible.

Thank you!

If you're talking to Eif, please tell him that he didn't respond to the last Census, so his citizenship is suspended, so he might want to fix that before he puts his wig on.

As the PC and a citizen I am wondering if Justice Verbotten has been notified of this and if our Cort has reached some sort of decision.

It is possible that I missed the news somewhere down the line.

[Kane dal Navâ]

As Head Justice (and Lone Justice, it seems), I hereby proclaim that Antonio Lixhita is hereby restored all rights as a citizen of the Republic of Talossa. I ask Mr Lixhita to forgive my lack of haste.

So let it be said, so let it be done!
