The Constitution of the Union of Independent States:

Article One; concerning the election process:

The election occurs once every 100 days. Any UN member may run. Voting starts once the current delegate's 100 day term has expired. The voting period lasts five days. The candidate with the most votes at the end of that period is the delegate for the next 100 days, at which time the next election occurs.

Article Two; concerning free speech on the message board and on the forum:

Any member nation of the UN has the right to post anything it wants, so long as the content of these posts complies with the NationStates Terms of Service, the NationStates rules, and (on the forum only), complies with the official forum rules.

Article Three; concerning amendments to the Constitution:

Any amendment can be proposed by any member of the Union of Independent States, including (but not limited to) puppet nations and non-UN nations. The amendment should be proposed on the regional message board or the Union Forum. Once the amendment has been proposed, all UN member nations of the Union of Independent States may vote on it. The voting period lasts five days. After the five day voting period has concluded itself, the votes are counted. If more than half of the votes are approving of the proposal, the proposal has been ratified and the amendment becomes an official part of the Union of Independent States Constitution. If exactly have or fewer of the votes are approving of the proposal, the proposal is thrown out and is not part of the Constitution. The proposal may be re-submitted any number of times, so long as it is not submitted before ten days have passed since the failure of that proposal. If it is re-submitted before that ten day period has expired, the proposal is removed from the voting floor and that proposal cannot be re-submitted until ten days from the time that it was removed from the voting floor.

Amendments to the Constitution:

Article Four; concerning the Vice-Delegacy:

In addition to the position of the delegate, there shall also be a position of vice-delegate, who shall assist the delegate in all regional affairs, including but not limited to: approval of proposals; the regional fact-book; appointments to other official regional positions; and amendments to the constitution. The vice-delegate shall be elected independently of the delegate, but at the same time, with the same rules; hence, the election of the vice-delegate shall comply with all that is stated in Article One of the Constitution of the Union of Independent States.
