So, we have a bunch of streams that say they wanna participate. These streams are “states” like in the electoral college irl. So when voting starts all the mods in that stream vote and the person that wins their election gets however many electoral votes come with that stream (the number of electoral votes is decided by stream follower count). So like our own electoral college, but like i said this could be just for fun and not decide the election or if its not voted yes then it doesn’t exist at all haha.

Interesting idea, but one flaw is that some users are active in multiple streams, so they could vote twice. But maybe it could be more like a UK parliamentary system than a US electoral college one.

So each stream has a certain number of seats, depending on the number of followers it has. And then the streams hold internal elections (which acts as a midterm between the general election) to nominate a certain number of candidates, depending on the number of seats in that stream (and candidates can only run in one stream). The users that are nominated will be the Members of Parliament, and be granted MOD powers in the stream they ran in.

And then two big elections can be held every four months in the IMGFLIP_PRESIDENTS stream to elect the President, who will have MOD powers in all streams that are taking part, and the Head of Parliament, who will only have MOD powers in the IMGFLIP_PRESIDENTS stream, but has control over parliament. Both the President and Head of Parliament must have running mates in the election, who will become Vice President and Deputy Head of Parliament, respectively. They both receive MOD powers in the IMGFLIP_PRESIDENTS stream, are Members of Parliament, and are in the line of succession for the presidency. The Vice President is 2nd, the Head of Parliament is 3rd, and the Deputy Head of Parliament is 4th.

If we implement this system, then the first midterm election will be at the end of December, and the next general election will be at the end of February 2021, and then the second midterm election will be at the end of April 2021. It makes sense to extend the terms from two months to four months, since there will be midterms in between. Otherwise it will be too chaotic. For both the midterms and the general election, all voters must comment ranked choice votes in the comment section of a particular meme, and then those votes will be transferred here: https://rankedchoices.com/

The instant runoff process will be made public, so it can be proven that no fraud took place.

Woah that’s a lot to read haha. But that definitely works.

Nice. This could be the start of something big.

Yeah I agree

Sounds interesting, although I could think of some pretty easy ways to exploit that, one being that unlike followers on your profile, stream followers include deleted users. They could also include alts or other such inactive users.
Interesting idea though, maybe we'll consider implementing something of the sort.

Yeah we can work on it if it is accepted.

can i run? 4 prez???

The next election is a while away.

OH WHEN?

im so sorry for the caps

uh about two months

Thanks mr prez

can i run then

when its time anyone can run

ok

I don't think it will make it easier It will just make it harder.And people can possebly vote twice.Plus I dont think the IMGFLIP mods will be happy when someone makes like 11 streams in one day

1 i didn't say it would make it easier, and that's ok it doesn't have to be easy. 2 how? 3 we don't create streams we ask streams to participate.

No I was just saying it will be easier if we just keep it that way.People can go to different stream and vote there.

yeah, there are holes, thanks for the feedback. what we could do is only allow the mods to vote. if they are mods of multiple streams, the owner of the stream is responsible for figuring that out.

what does the head of parliament do?
