IN THE CHANCERY OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
ENTREATY OF REMOVAL
I. INTRODUCTION
Defendant Thritystone petitions the Chancellor to remove from the Magistrates Court the question of emergency relief suspending the January 2026 General Election. The Constitution reserves election disputes exclusively to the Chancery. The Magistrate lacks jurisdiction to halt a national election.
II. BACKGROUND
On January 22, 2026, the Crown filed criminal charges against Thritystone in the Magistrates Court. See The Crown v. Thritystone, Case 3 (Mag. Ct., 2026) #1. The same day, the Crown sought emergency relief to suspend the January 2026 General Election, which the Magistrate granted. See id. at #5. On January 25, 2026, the Magistrate reaffirmed the suspension. The election remains halted.
III. ARGUMENT
K.A. Const. Art. 15 grants the Chancery "exclusive jurisdiction over constitutional questions... as well as disputed returns arising from elections, including challenges to election results."
K.A. Const. Art. 16 limits the Magistrates Court to "criminal and civil matters, except those explicitly reserved for the Chancery."
The Magistrate has jurisdiction over the criminal charges against Thritystone. The Magistrate does not have jurisdiction to suspend a national election. That is an election dispute—reserved exclusively to this Court.
IV. RELIEF REQUESTED
Defendant respectfully requests that the Chancellor:
Respectfully submitted,

Defendant respectfully requests that the Chancellor:
- REMOVE the question of emergency relief to the Chancery;
- VACATE the Order suspending the election as issued without jurisdiction; and
- ADJUDICATE whether election-related relief is warranted under the proper standard.
