Section I: Activities and Propositions

All government activities must have a non-biased summary available to the public for no cost. Activities that may be necessary to be kept secretive must be approved by a simple ½ majority of the Judicial Branch.

All propositions and vote updates must be made publicly available at proposition, as each vote is cast or changed reasonably periodically, and if the proposition passes.

This law applies to all government agencies, departments, branches, UWElections and related activities.

During an election, UWElections must provide a form where voters must be able to take a 12-question quiz regarding the political, governmental, socioeconomical, and operational aspects of the United Words of America. Wordians must receive at least an 8/12 score to be able to vote. The quiz shall be written by the Clerk and must be approved by a majority of the Judges.

An approved voter’s enfranchisement may be challenged if all three Judges in the Judicial Branch vote in favor of disenfranchising them.

The act of significantly assisting with the answering a question on the exam with the intent of boosting the score of someone who wouldn’t pass on their own shall be a crime.

Section 1: Baseline Voter Privacy
No part of a voter’s ballot entries may be revealed with identifying information attached to anyone but the voter.

Section 2: Consensual Publishing

Any voter may waive their rights as described in Section 1 of this law if they provide consent to UWElections.

Be it enacted by the 2nd Government of the UWA, and specifically not applying to the current ongoing Graham, Mazin v. Wang, UWElections case:

Section 1: General Cases
All non-trial government cases shall have a voting period of 48 hours, beginning from the time a proposition is made.

Section 2: Trial Cases

In trial cases (including trials and punishment deliberations), there shall be a 72 hour voting period following a proposition. In a trial, a proposition shall be when two members of the voting body concur in beginning the voting period. In punishment deliberations, a proposition shall be when a punishment is proposed.

Section 3: Discarded Votes
In the interpretation of vote requirements, the following shall be true:

For Federal Laws, Trials, and Punishment Deliberations:

• Any member of the voting body who does not vote or wishes to abstain shall have their vote be counted as an abstain vote

• The vote requirement for these topics shall discard abstain votes in the total voting body

For everything else:

• Any member of the voting body who does not vote or wishes to abstain shall have their vote be counted as an abstain vote

• The vote requirement for these topics shall include abstain votes in the total voting body

Draft 3

Section 1: Allocation of Powers
The Head of Immigrations, as defined by The Constitution in the Executive Branch, shall be the sole leader of the Executive Branch’s UWImmigrations. It is UWImmigration’s role to maintain an up-to-date census, process immigration requests, and promote the nation to get more citizens. Failure to adhere to these responsibilities results in impeachment of the Head of Immigrations

Section 2: Card Standardization

A card system shall be used to standardize the referencing and naming of different citizenship statuses.

Section 3: Card Types
Green Cards:

This is the typical, average immigration status. The person who holds this card is an official citizen of the UWA, and can vote in elections as well as run for office.

Blue Cards:

The holder of this card is a tourist of the country. They can be in all UWA group chats but cannot vote or run for office. Also, the holder must provide a time period of how long they will tour the country, at max 1 month and minimum 3 days. After which, they must give up their blue card or choose to apply to become a citizen.

Red Cards

Someone who has left/was deported from the UWA shall be catalogued as having a red card in the census or immigration database. If you want to leave the country, you must notify the Head of Immigrations and request a red card. A judicial body is the only way someone can be given a red card without consent, also known as deporting them.

Purple Cards

This is the card for refugees. The holder of this may stay in the country for any period of time, and can choose to apply for a green card whenever they want. If you have a purple card, you may be in the group chats but can’t run for office or vote. Also, as a refugee fleeing/escaping, you are entitled to extra protection from UWDefense.

Draft 2

Section I: UWAFR

The previously-cancelled UWAFR program shall be reinstated as a department of the President. The ambassadors shall remain the same, with Yifei Wang Ambassador and Shakthi Prasanna as Attaché, who will speak and cast votes with direction from the UWA Government.

Ambassadors may only cast formal major votes with standard representation approval measures, as defined by the Constitution.

Section I: Write-Ins

Write-in must be an option provided to voters for only general regularly-scheduled Presidential Elections. Write-in candidates must agree to take and pass the Voter Bar Exam to be able to accept their position and meet Section III of this law and all other UWA Laws. In the case that they fail or do not take it within 48 hours, they shall be disqualified and the next-place candidate that meets the all government members requirements shall be deemed the victor.

Section II: Terms and Conditions Updates

UWElections Terms and Conditions or any agreement that applies to elections must a) comply with all applicable UWA laws, and b) be approved by simple majority in the Judicial Branch.

Section III: Permitted Government Members

Only UWA Citizens may be in or elected to any office of government, including but not limited to those that are elected, nominated, or confirmed. In the case that someone who is not a UWA Citizen is elected or in any way ends up in government, then they shall be immediately removed from their position. Their replacement shall be, for elected positions, the next-place candidate that fulfills all government member requirements. For nominated positions, another candidate shall be nominated.

Section 1: Formation & Purpose

By a unanimous vote in the Legislature, committees may be formed. The purpose of Legislative Committees is to advise the Legislature on specific issues or topics. They may be formed by appending sections to this act.

Section 2: Limits

A committee shall have no more than 5 members, one of whom must be a Legislator, who will lead the committee. No other voting government member (Executive, Legislative, Judicial) may be part of that committee.

Section 3: Usage

A committee shall have the right to oversee any official government activity relating to their respective topic. The committee shall be able to form an official committee opinion by a majority vote within itself, which then must be provided to the government voting body by the committee leader.

Section 1:

The group chats commonly referred to as “UWA Convo” and in the future “UWA Announce” shall henceforth be government property.

Section 2:

The government may not abuse their ownership over the group chat to violate any Constitutional right guaranteed to the public.

Section 3:

UWDefense members shall be the only ones who have permission to remove people from group chats. They may only do this when a citizen is deported, leaves the country, or need to stop an immediate threat. After kicking someone to stop an immediate threat, they must re-add the person back within 48 hours. The Judicial Branch may immediately order the re-adding of a member with just two judges in support. If a non-UWDefense member kicks someone from the group chat they will be kicked from the group chat for 24 hours.

Section 4:

Only UWA residents (citizens, tourists, asylum-seekers) may be in the group chat. Only UWImmigrations may add members to the group chat.
