Today in the Pacemian Hangout, a notable platform for Pacemians to communicate online, a historic decree was made. The Second Senate of Pacem shall start its bid for candidates at 1900 UTC today. This is the first legislative election in Pacem since the June of 2016.

The original Senate was comprised of three seats in its final meeting, originally comprising of Dylan Emborough, Dale Edeker, Ian Nolon, and myself, however Ian Nolon quit before the final meeting in the July of 2016.

Three seats will be opened in the Senate for one candidate from the Sector of Carnegi, one from the Sector of Indo, and one from the Abeldane Empire. Now it is strange that a citizen of Abelden is allowed a seat in the Senate of Pacem, however Abelden and Pacem have been constantly working on strengthening relations, including opening their political systems to one another.

The First Senate had a majority of Senators from the moderate Imperial Party, with the positions of Speaker of the Senate & Majority Leader and three seats being held by IP members at its greatest. The Pacemian Conservative Party only was able to hold one seat, and only ever held the position of Minority Leader. With no political parties currently existing in Pacem, there is no good say of what ideology will take the Second Senate by large.

This announcement was only made at 1839 UTC, so there have not been any responses from citizens of Pacem or potential candidates.
