The Mayor is a position available to everyone on the servers. It is not a position of actual power but rather a position that is used for roleplay as a government official. To decide who holds the position of Mayor, an election is held.
Electing a Mayor
An election is held two times every month. Each election ends on the 1st and 15th and the polls are open up until those dates.
Voting on a candidate is done in the Town hall, which is located in the north-east of Kavala greenzone. Inside the Town hall there are polling stations located on the first floor. These polling stations are used to vote for a candidate. They will also show the message written by the candidate when they registered.
These polling stations are also used to register as a candidate. When registering the registree has the option to fill out a message, showed to everyone who wishes to vote. To register, interact with a polling station (using the scroll wheel) and select the option to register for Mayor. After this the option to fill out a message appears, and finally the option to finalise your registration is available in the bottom right.
