Clause II. Nominations for government positions shall begin at 00:00 GMT on the 60th day of the terms and close at 00:00 GMT on the 65th day, thereby lasting five full days. Nations who are nominated by other nations shall be sent a notification telegram by the Secretary-General and will be able to accept or decline their nomination or nominations until 00:00 GMT on the 67th day. The final candidates shall then be posted and a vote set before 23:59 GMT of that day. Voting shall begin at 00:00 GMT on the 68th day of the terms and close at 00:00 GMT on the 75th day, thereby lasting seven full days. Voters may vote on Charter members not previously nominated, so called 'write-in candidates', in addition to the candidates nominated before the voting period; if a write-in candidate declines their nomination, votes for that candidate are deemed invalid and are not counted. Votes shall then be tallied and winners announced before 23:59 GMT of that day. At 00:00 GMT on the 76th day of the terms, the newly elected officials shall take up their positions and the term cycle shall reset.
