Every Colony and Outer Star Base with a population has a Mayor. Every populated planet has a Governor, and every populated star system has a Senator.
There is one Colonial President.
Mayors have authority to change colonial laws. Governors can rename planets. Senators can rename systems, plan and approve Player Constructed Gates. The President can plan and approve gates to the inner nine systems and has a direct line to both UNCA in game and developers outside of it.
Senators and Governors of large populations of players are also considered to be representatives by developers.
Elections for all seats will open in 24 hours' time and remain open until the 20th of this month. This includes all Mayor, Governor, Senator seats, and the Colonial Presidency.
Please head over to the politics forum (read the rules!), announce your candidacy and platform for each seat (above Mayor) you intend to contest.
