Congressional Districts for v3

Development Suggestions

What would you guys think of congressional districts within v3? Their point would be to allow residents of each different city to vote for their own representation for their district of residence, whether it be for municipal elections, or county/ state elections. There would be a polling center for each district, not just one for the whole game. Each district would have a certain number of representatives in the House of Representatives depending on the district’s population, and each district would also each have an equal number of senators to vote for.

This would obviously be a V3 thing, and my idea is to have 3 districts: one for Prominence, one for Redwood and Greendale, and the third for Arborfield and Hillview. Greendale and Hillview would be under the jurisdiction of Redwood and Arborfield city governments respectively (this would make sense as in v2 HV and GD are under the Prom city government’s jurisdiction), and GD and HV residents would be able to vote in the cities’ municipal elections. For state elections, there would be 3 senators per district and the number of representatives would be determined by the population of a district, though this may require amending the constitution to happen. This can be changed but maybe for county council elections Prom gets 3 council members and RW and Arbor each get 2 members.

Reply with your thoughts and if you support this idea vote

edit: forgot to mention that residency would be determined by where you own a house. Discuss ideas for voters that don’t own houses as idk what to do about that

this would then require residence to be established for each city, etc etc. possible, but quite a bit complicated for a congressional system that struggles to get people involved in the first place, so.

This really couldn’t work. Districts would be extremely difficult to actually come up with, even if we did have a housing system

Districts don’t work in Roblox groups. A permanent residency system would be cool but it’d muddy the waters and also prevent users that do not permanently reside within one district from voting.

I can see where you’re coming from however residency can also be changed along with the idea that you can buy many houses or apartments

They could just be divided into the 3 that I suggested, Prom, Arbor and HV, RW and GD

I could’ve sworn it was, I thought I remembered something about adding HV to the Prominence jurisdiction. in any case, HV and GD would be under Arbor and RW respectively for my idea

That’s a thing i’ve been wondering how to solve myself

Once it’s set up it would seem like it would run itself, no?

Yeah and it’ll be something like Work at a Pizza Place (to give a very old example) where you get a property and all of your assets load in the same place you placed them or in your building inventory and save when you leave.

I actually drafted a charter amendment for Prom on something like this, but my Councilman decided to leave the idea before proposing it.

“legislative aide”
“aide to a councilman”
“prominence”

Congressional districts already exist RP wise with changes implemented into congress like 2 months ago, I’m the senator for Hillview RP wise (see: Trello).

suggestion can therefore be closed, election based districts are unlikely and would lead to mass confusion about “whats my district, who can i vote for” yadda yadda, current system works, end of
