Agency

Only indepagents may vote. Corporations/legal persons shall not be able to cast votes.

Termed offices

Constitutional amendments

An indepagent shall be eligible to vote on a constitutional amendment if they have tax receipts covering at least 10 out of the last 30 years; the receipts need not be contiguous.
