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.

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.
