The National Electoral Commission of Easway - Explained

 The National Electoral Commission - Explained



The National Electoral Commission (NEC) is the supreme auditing and regulatory body of the Common Union of Easway, responsible for ensuring the democratic rights of all Easwegians and the correct functioning of the Co-operative Government's branches, according to law. The body is outlined in Chapter 2, Section 18, of the Constitution of Easway. 

The NEC is led by a Spokesperson, who is accompanied by a directorial board. This board aims to employ people from all of Easway's different municipalities, in order to help ensure the protection of Easway's polycultural status, and to prevent an echo chamber of views within the organisation.
The NEC itself operates in a non-partisan manner and is made up of independent persons, who are not affiliated to the Government. 

The National Electoral Commission has gotten more powerful in the years since 2022 onwards. Previously, the Ministry of Home Affairs (previously known as the Ministry of the Interior) would organise the dates of elections, referendums, and manage election engagement campaigns. Since Alderman of Bear Island Gaia Grìbhinneach's tenure as Minister in the Home Office (since 2023), they have renegotiated this arrangement with NEC Spokesperson Jaani 'Teireet' vi Escharnisjaane, whereby the National Electoral Commission shall be primarily responsible for the aformentioned public announcements. This was due to the wish to make public announcements more transparent and further build trust in state institutions.

List of Spokespersons of the National Electoral Commission

  • 1st, Oelaanni Meizcherni Creizoun (14 December 2017 - 18 February 2019)
The office was vacant whilst the People's Committees conducted debates within the Constitutional Assembly for upcoming constitutional acts. Calls to replace the body with a unified supreme court failed, and the body continued to exist, with the Assembly later electing a new Spokesperson in May 2019.
  • 2nd, Samme vi Ezerrye (10 May 2019 - 20 January 2020)
  • 3rd, Ankel (20 January 2020 - 1 January 2021)
  • 4th, Frankie (1 January 2021 - 2nd January 2022)
  • 5th, Oleksiy (2 January 2022 - 7 April 2022)
Per NEC tradition, Oleksiy originally was set to serve as Spokesperson until at least early 2023. Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Oleksiy, of Ukrainian Tatar descent, did not wish to act in a non-partisan manner and requested a transfer to join the Easwegian National Guard. This request was granted by Emizerri, then Grand Councillor.

  • 6th, Frankie (7 April 2022 - 26 November 2022) Frankie returned to his duties as Spoksperson after election by the Assembly. Frankie issued a notice to the Government, then led by Supreme Director Etchaczech, that the state could not afford to continue to function at its then capacity due to economic losses after limited sanctions against Russia and denouncements of their invasion led to a complete breakdown in all relations. Furthermore, Frankie, of Norwegian descent, warned the Interior Ministry, then led by Pomors Alderman Demitrou Chostacovitch, that he had heard credible reports in Norwegian about a resurgence of activity from the anti-Easwegian terrorist organisation Kingdom - 1925, who would use the economic downturn to plot against Easwegian statehood. The National Electoral Commission submitted a report recommending the Government rekindled relations with Norway, which had recently formed a new government by the previous opposition, alongside a national directive and a brief period of austerity. This was named the Administrative and Resource Maximisation plan, and was implemented by Demitrou Chostacovitch, who became the finance minister.
  • 7th, Jaani 'Teireet' vi Escharnisjaane (since 2 February 2023)

This document has been officially approved for release by the National Electoral Commission on 3 April 2023
