From the offices of Marshwallow & Bowles,
3764 Takers Lane
New Haven, RhyDin
To all citizens of RhyDin,
Salutations and greetings!
Once again it is my honor to announce to you that nominations are now open for Governor of this fine city. Anyone who wishes to stand as a candidate must declare their intention to run by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, 8 September. All official announcements of candidacy must be made via public statement, to maintain full transparency.
All residents of RhyDin and its associated region are welcome and invited to run for Governor/ The exception would be candidates who have served three previous terms. In addition, Governors who have served two consecutive terms must wait at least one term before being elected for a third. At this time, we have determined that there are none in RhyDin who fall under these stipulations, so all who wish to run this year may do so.
Only self-nominations will be accepted.
Following closure of nominations, there will be a period of time for campaigning prior to the general election, which will be held Sunday 22 September through Tuesday 24 September. Should there be more than five candidates in the initial slate, a primary election will be held one week prior to the general election, 15 September through 17 September.
Any parties contemplating coercion, fraud, chicanery, or other shenanigans in connection with this election should note that my esteemed partner, Ms. Bowles, has taken to farming rot grubs and is always looking for new material in which to raise them.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at our office.
Thank you.
At your service,
The Honorable D.R. Marshwallow, Esq.
Marshwallow & Bowles
