    VOTER BALLOT - September, 2021


    Voter Information

    This information is used for identification and verification purposes and is not published or made available to the general Nemenhah or domestic public without the Voter's prior written consent.  The information provided in this form will be used by the Office of the Nehm Tiwehkthihmpt, or an agent of same, to communicate with the Voter if necessary.
    Review the NEMENHAH CODE: TITLE 1§1.e for more information.

    General Pattern (a brief outline):
    All Nemenhah Citizens in Good Standing are entitled to present Propositions of Amendment, Mandates, Policy and/or any manner of structural or legal change within the Nemenhah to the Nehm Tiwehkthihmpt for consideration for entry into the Great Council Agenda each year.   Said Propositions may not directly contradict or eliminate any Article or Statute found within the Nemenhah Constitution and Code, unless the proposed changes also present a relevant compelling impetus and empirical necessity for said proposition.  Propositions must be presented to the Nehm Tiwehkthihmpt six months prior to any Great Council proceeding.

    Nemenhah Great Council is a unanimous consensus council system.  A single vote in Opposition returns the Proposition to Council for debate before a second vote is called by the Nehm Tiwehkthihmpt.  If the Proposition is not passed after three consecutive votes, it is stricken from the Great Council's agenda and tabled for later discussion amongst the Pehli.  If the Proposition is passed by unanimous consensus (constituting 100% "Skyward" and/or "Windward" votes), the Proposition is entered into the general mandate of the Office of the Nehm Tiwehkthihmpt for implementation and enforcement.

    PROPOSITIONS

    In accordance with ancient Nemenhah Custom, Delegates are asked to cast the "Thumb Vote" wherein each Delegate present indicates their agreement, opposition, and/or impartiality regarding the offered Propositions by extending their hand with the thumb raised in one of three positions:
    • "Skyward" or thumb-up votes are counted in absolute agreement.
    • "Earthward" or thumb-down votes are counted in absolute opposition. 
    • "Windward" or thumb-sideways votes indicate that the Delegate has reservations pertaining to the Proposition or does not necessarily agree but does not believe his or her general disagreement and/or reservations merit the cessation or interruption of Great Council process at this time.  This vote is counted in the affirmative with special notation.
    *** NO AMENDMENTS have been proposed to the Office of the Nehm Tiwehkthihmpt at this time. ***
    If an opposing vote is cast, you are required to make a statement regarding your reasons and position pertaining to the opposition of the Nehm Tiwehkthihmpt's proposition in the provided STATEMENTS field below. You will be contacted by the Nehm Tiwehkthihmpt or an agent of same regarding the opposing vote.

    This Proposition is strictly honorary and is not required, but is offered as a modality of gratitude to the Pehli who have dedicated their valuable time and energy to the further restoration and establishment of the Nemenhah Lifeway in modern times.
