        I would like to propose the following amendment for clarity purposes:

        AMENDMENT V

        • If a candidate runs for any Commission office unopposed, there shall be a voting procedure during the voting period of the commission election where all member states can vote on whether they approve or disapprove of the candidate. If the candidate fails to get a simple majority approval, there shall be a special election to fill the office, with the previous candidate barred from entering.

        Councillor for The State of Elthize
