Full results, proposition (overturned presidential)
REFERENDUM: Proposition 2023-100
If this proposition is passed, Emma Bunnell will remain the President of the Federated States of Gapla even after her impeachment for inactivity, but Gapla will in reality be governed by a Transitional Council, formed of Wyatt Baek, Chelsea Chen, and Nicolas Wiedemann. This is to ensure that Gapla is governed by a capable government as it is the opinion of the writers of this proposition that none of the contestants for the office of President are qualified. Decisions usually made in the executive will need a majority in the Transitional Council to pass. New members may be added by a unanimous vote in the Transitional Council. This proposition lasts until the next general election.
