The Administration of the Libertarian Socialist Confederation includes the Founder (1 nation), World Assembly Delegate (1 nation), Election Secretary (1 nation), and then the Confederal Council (4 to 12 nations, with 1 to 3 nations being in each committee). In total, there are 7 to 15 officers in the region at any time, unless there is low activity or officers are transitioning.
In the Confederal Council, officers holding the same type of office are referred to as a committee (e.g., Foreign Affairs Committee). One officer in a committee is referred to as a Councilor (e.g., Foreign Affairs Councilor). There are 1 to 3 councilors in a committee. The 4 committees of the Confederal Council are: Internal Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Outreach, and Safeguard.
The Election Secretary, WA Delegate, and Founder are all not a part of the Confederal Council.
For descriptions of each officer's responsibilites, see LSC Administration Responsibilities.
The Confederal Council is on a 3 month election cycle. Within 19 days before the end of every term, both the Election Secretary and the entirety of the Confederal Council are re-elected. The Founder and WA Delegate are selected like most regions.
For information about Election Dates, see LSC Election Dates.
For information about Election Procedures, see LSC Election Procedures.
Other voting may be held in this region. With majority (m) or individual approval (a) votes, the following could be voted on:

Election Secretary
The Election Secretary organizes the Confederal Council Election, so is the first to be elected (when it is time for a new Confederal Council). This preliminary election takes a total of seven days.
Nomination and Confirmation (3 days)
For three days, a nation may nominate themselves or confirm a nomination from another nation, on the regional message board. In the LSC, all nominations (unless nominated by oneself) must be confirmed to be valid nominations. Therefore, if nominating another nation, please consider nominating early in this period.
Election of the Election Secretary (4 days)
If there is only one nominee for Election Secretary, then this 4 day step may be skipped at the Election Secretary's discretion.
To elect one Election Secretary, the vote will be held with a first-past-the-post vote. This means that the nation with the most votes/majority will be elected, even if this majority is below 50%.
Since NationStates’ regional polls allow a singular vote, the vote will be held in a regional poll. Any current councilor may set this poll up at the end of the 3 day nomination period. The poll shall last for 4 days.
The Election Secretary, once elected, will manage the next Confederal Council election.
The Election Secretary’s role is to open nominations and record valid nominations, create and share the relevant polls, and announce the results. The Election Secretary cannot run for Confederal Council, but can be the Founder or WA Delegate.
7 days of Nominations: After being elected, “[t]he Election Secretary will . . . open a nomination and campaigning period, for all committees of the Confederal Council, that will last for 7 days.” Nominations may be recorded.
If a nation nominates their own nation, then that nomination is already valid.
If a nation is nominated by another nation, then their confirmation should be noted within 3 days, to prove they are active, or else the nomination will expire.
5 days of Voting: “After the nomination period has closed, the Election Secretary will organize a vote for each committee, running for 5 days.” There are four committees to be elected (Internal Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Outreach, and Safeguard).
If there are 3 or less candidates running for any one committee, then an approval vote shall be held. Recently, Framadate, from the company Framasoft, has been used for approval polls. Before the service was discontinued, Disroot polls were used.
If there are 4 or more candidates running for any one committee, then a ranked vote shall be used to select the 3 councilors needed. It has been suggested to use rankedchoices.com. If taking this vote manually, then the Droop Quota calculation can be performed. Regarding the Droop Quota calculation, “votes [will be] transferred to the next preference each time a candidate is elected or eliminated in the process."
Reference Part II, 3 and 4, of the Charter for specific instructions.
Additional resources: See Election Secretary and All Officers.
Confederal Council / Internal Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Outreach, and Safeguard Committees
The following cannot run for the Confederal Council: the Founder, the World Assembly Delegate, and the Election Secretary.
A 7 day period will take place for nominations and confirmations. Afterwards, committee elections will take place for a 5 day period. This process takes a total of 12 days.
Nomination period (7 days)
After the Election Secretary has been elected, all nations will be able to nominate candidates for 7 days. Nations may nominate others or their own nation.
Upon being nominated by another nation, your nation must confirm its candidacy within 3 days of, or the nomination will expire. A nation can only run for one committee.
Per the Charter, “During this period, candidates can make the case for why they should be trusted with the role, release a platform, and answer questions from other members of the region. . . . If there is [4 or more confirmed nominations for one committee] then the candidates may participate in a formal debate, respectfully and in good faith.”
Option 1) Approval Elections, for any committee with 3 or less candidates (5 days)
If there are no more than 3 nominations for each (the limit is 3 per committee), then an approval vote will be held.
Voters have 3 options for voting: approve, disapprove, or approve under reserve. If undecided or wish to abstain, choose approve under reserve. Voters are not limited to an amount of any of these.
For a candidate to be elected, a candidate must have more approvals (not including under reserve approvals) than disapprovals. A candidate is elected when the majority of the votes approve.
Option 2) Ranked Choice Elections, for any committee with 4 or more candidates
Each committee is only allowed 1 to 3 councilors. If there are 4 confirmed candidates or more for one committee, then a ranked vote will be held for that committee. The top 3 candidates will be elected to this committee.
Voting will be done with ranked numbers. 1 means that they are your nations’ favorite. 2 is your nations’ second choice, and so on. The application would calculate the results.
The nominees that either have had more approvals than disapprovals, or have been selected with a ranked ballot, will have been chosen by the region for their respective committees. If your nation has been elected, then refer to Part 1, number 2 of the Charter for how to proceed. Each term will be for 3 months before it is time for the next Confederal Council term.
World Assembly Delegate
The World Assembly Delegate is elected automatically according to the endorsements in the region. LSC World Assembly Members are encouraged, but not required, to endorse the current World Assembly Delegate.
If you would like to join LSC Administration, then refer to the Upcoming Dates section for future Election dates.

The following should be updated as needed:
Election Secretary (New, Nominations, Results)
The Election Secretary is elected 12 days before the Confederal Council. Update the Election Secretary History with this, and later add results.
New Election Secretary (new top row). After adding following bbcode, For Term and Nation columns to be edited.
[tr] [td]_th CC[/td] [td][i]Current[/i][/td] [td][nation][/nation][/td] [td][i]Current[/i][/td] [td][/td] [/tr]
If a nomination list is shared, add to last column.
Results announced
Change the information for: Date End and Results columns. (Remove the italicized Current 's and copy style of row below.)
Note: By hovering over __ days ago, the date can be found. By clicking on __ days ago, the RMB post will be directed to a URL that can be referenced.
New Confederal Council
Be sure the Election Secretary History has been updated with results.
Update Confederal Council History by adding the template from Editing: Confederal Council Template and then following these instructions:
Click preview to see that the template is in the right place.
Fill in ___'s and change both Month 's.
Change the URL for the Election Results.
Note: By clicking on __ days ago, the RMB post will be directed to a URL that can be referenced.
Add nations in from these Election Results.
Removing blank row space in table
For any blank rows, delete them (a row is from one tr to /tr, delete both and what's in between).
To get the table to look normal again, the td=r_ must have the 3 replaced with the amount of nations on that committee (change to 1 or 2, unless 3 is the correct amount).
Change Dates (and update or delete Countdown after) of the Upcoming Dates table, possibly with help of this date calculator. Start by moving the Successive Confederal Council's date to the Incumbent Confederal Council's date, and then deleting the other dates. Then, go backwards and forwards using the durations listed in italics to foretell the dates. If dates changed, then start with the date you already know.
New World Assembly Delegate
Add a new top row to World Assembly Delegate History with the following code:
[tr] [td][/td] [td][i]Current[/i][/td] [td][nation][/nation][/td] [td][url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=region_admin/region=libertarian_socialist_confederation][i]Current[/i][/url][/td] [td][i]Current[/i][/td] [/tr]
In the row for the previous Delegate (now second to top row), remove all Current 's. Remove the URL in the Duration column. The Date End, Duration (reign), and Reason for Leave columns should be blank for the previous Delegate.
Referencing the research from Editing: WAD History Research, add information for:
Current Delegate: Date Start and Nation columns.
Previous Delegate: Date End, Duration (reign), and Reason for Leave columns.
New Report(s)
Add each under Confederal Council History.
One nation takes up one row in this table. The information for one nation/row is in between each set of tr and /tr.
Add reports in the Reports column, and any extra information in the Other column.
By clicking on __ days ago, the RMB post will be directed to a URL that can be referenced.
If a report/information is by the whole committee, then use td=r3 or td=r2, and click Preview. Next, subtract one td unit from each row that visibly has an extra cell. When the table arrangement is right, link the report/other information in this new merged cell.
Relevant information from updates to the Charter/Region or Feedback provided

The WAD History Section only needs to be updated when there is a new Delegate.
Every time there is a transition to a new Delegate, it will be noted on the LSC History Page (under Major Events).
On the History page, the top line (has elected in it) will have the name and start date of the new Delegate. The next zero to two lines will have the previous Delegate's end date, duration of reign, and reason for leave.
