Elected Positions

In Redmont, various elected positions are available for individuals to pursue, including:

President. As the highest-ranking official in the executive branch, the President oversees the branch’s operation and plays a significant role in policy-making. Due to the position’s responsibilities, stringent requirements must be met: candidates must have joined the server more than four months ago and have at least 300 hours of playtime. Presidential terms last four months.
Senator. Serving as one of the two legislative branches, the Senate functions as a review board for legislation passed in the House of Representatives. Senators cannot draft legislation but evaluate judicial and executive nominations. Senators serve four-month terms, and candidates must have a minimum of 72 hours of playtime.
Representative. The House of Representatives, the second legislative branch, is where bills originate and are crafted. Representatives serve two-month terms, and candidates must have at least 24 hours of playtime.
Local Councils. Town positions are managed independently. Reach out to town mayors or check Discord channels for details. Local roles offer a great entry point for aspiring public servants.
