IN THE CHANCERY OF ALEXANDRIA
Civil Complaint
I. Jurisdictional Statement
This court has jurisdiction over all constitutional questions. I argue that the Constitution is nto directly applicable law and all decisions whether a law conflicts with the constitution must originate from the Chancery.
II. Parties
ItsStormcrafter, fmr. Electoral Adjudicator
The Crown, represented by the Ministry of Justice
III. Facts
(1) The Alexandrian Electoral Act §4(3) reads: "A Submission Period shall open as soon as is practicable after the dissolution of Parliament, and close after 120 hours (5 days)."
(2) The new Electoral Adjudicator posted an announcement proclaiming that a section of the Alexandrian Electoral Act would be ignored as they believe it to conflict with the constitution. (E1)
(3) Dissolution is today, on the 22nd of September at 18:51 UTC, 2160h after the announcement enacting the election results.
IV. Argument
This court has the sole authority to strike a section of the law. The Electoral Adjudicator, in her proclamation, effectively rendered a section law law void without a judicial mandate. The election is therefore conducted in violation with the law. The argument that this is to bring the act in line with the constitution is misguided, only this court can apply the constitution. Similarly, the MoIA in the past believed that the passport requirement for candidates was most likely unconstitutional (and even prior to .FreakyyyyBob158 v. Crown of Alexandria, Case 5 (Ch. 2026) believed the requirement for voting problematic) but could not act and ahd to follow the law.
The Constitution, in this sense, does not directly apply (it is not "directly applicable law") but instead is applied through the judiciary by this court. If a provision of law is believed to be unconstitutional, one has to sue, not ignore the law, thereby circumventing the powers of the judiciary.
V. Petition
(1) Order that the proclamation is unlawful as only this court can determine constitutionality, not the Electoral Adjudicator.
(2) Order that the election has to be restarted in line with the Alexandrian Electoral Act.
So petitioned before the honourable Court,
Kaladin Stormblessed
