Censor (Urcea): Difference between revisions

Line 31:

== Nomination and election ==

The [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] every five years - coinciding with the term of Censor - makes a list of nominations for the office of Censor. These nominations are usually forwarded by Urcea's political parties as well as from the [[Collegium Scientificum]] and [[Ministry for the Church in Urcea]], creating a wide list of possible candidates with political and academic support. The initial list assembled by the King's [[Apostolic_King_of_Urcea#Household_Office_for_Judicial_Appointments|Household Office for Judicial Appointments]] is forwarded to the [[Urcean Conference of Catholic Bishops]]. The King's List is submitted at the end of January of each election year and typically consists of up to eighty candidates. The Conference of Catholic Bishops will return the list to the Household Office by the end of February with any subtractions the Bishops deem suitable. Many election cycles have seen no subtractions, and most election cycles only 2-3 candidates are removed from the list. The list returned to the King is disseminated to the [[Government of Urcea]] and provinces as the eligible candidates to serve in the office of Censor. Incumbent Censors are usually considered automatically eligible unless the Conference of Catholic Bishops lodges a specific complaint against one or both Censors. Censors serve on the same election cycle as the [[Concilium Daoni]] and following the nomination process are subject to an election for a five year term. Due to the number of candidates, Censors are often voted on by separate ballots given to voters on election day including the list of all possible candidates. Many candidates typically receive votes for Censor, and while party candidates for Censor exist, Urcea's political parties rarely expend resources on the office with the exception of specific individuals. Single, non-partisan candidates typically campaign in a more widespread manner and usually win election to the office. Censors are rarely voted out of office. The process of nominating and electing Censors has been subject to some criticism, ranging from complaints of religious institutional interference to administrative criticisms. Reform proposals to the system, which typically involve limiting the number of candidates to only 1 or 2 party nominees as well as 1 or 2 "institutional" nominees from the [[Collegium Scientificum]] and other institutions, have been introduced to the [[Concilium Daoni]] multiple times but have not been taken up for a vote.
