# Parliament, Elections, and Bills in Warfront Nations

> Run for office, win elections, and pass bills. Full election cycles, voting windows, and bill thresholds in Warfront Nations.

## Voting Eligibility

You can vote in elections if you:

* Are a member of a state
* Are **level 5+**
* Have **intelligence 20+**

## Parties

Parties are player-led organizations with a name, description, picture, home region, leader, members, and join requests. Parliamentary parties need at least **3 active members** (activity window: 7 days).

## Elections

| Election   | Term   | Registration | Voting |
| ---------- | ------ | ------------ | ------ |
| Leadership | 5 days | —            | 1 day  |
| Parliament | 7 days | 1 day        | 1 day  |

### Election Statuses

`pending` → `registration` → `active` → `completed`

Leadership elections track individual candidates and voters. Parliamentary elections track party-level vote tallies plus individual candidate lists.

## Parliament

Each state has parliament with a configurable seat count (**default 7**). MPs handle bills, vote on legislation, conduct citizen polling, and issue or override vetoes.

## Bills

### Bill Types

Tax changes, border policy, alliance add/remove, enemy add/remove, war declaration, constitutional changes, impeachment.

### Voting Windows

| Bill Category | Voting Window |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Normal        | 24 hours      |
| Major         | 48 hours      |
| Emergency     | 6 hours       |

### Pass Thresholds

Thresholds are based on **total MPs**, not only votes cast.

| Bill Category | Required Aye Votes |
| ------------- | ------------------ |
| Normal        | 50% of MPs         |
| Major         | 66% of MPs         |

**Major bills:** war declaration, constitutional changes, impeachment.

### Lifecycle

`open` → `passed` / `rejected` → `enacted` / `expired` / `vetoed`

## Voting Mechanics

* **MPs** vote `aye` or `nay` (binding).
* **Citizens** can submit non-binding `support` / `oppose` polls visible to MPs.
* **Leaders** can **veto** passed bills.
* **Veto override:** the data model supports a 75% MP threshold, but the current service enacts passed bills immediately, so veto override is **not actively in use** at this time.
