Lord Speaker,
It has come to my attention that we miss out on a significant number of citizenship applications due to the lengthy UDS election period that prevents the acceptance of applications during an election period. As it stands, I have two applications that must wait until the completion of the current by-election to accept. I believe that it is possible to accept new citizens into the Union, while temporarily preventing them from voting in the ongoing election would preserve the spirit of the current rule, but still allow our citizenry to grow.
Please present the following bill to the Senate. I am happy to take questions and/or re-post this as an introduction.
v/r
Kade W. Vasentius
Deputy Minister of the Census
