Because the Liminal State uses long, staggered terms with multiple elected leaders per post, there needs to be a procedure in place to bootstrap this within a new Liminal State. While the following special procedures would be used for a true new instance of the Liminal State, they also serve as the procedures for new branches and departments created within an existing Liminal State or when there are multiple vacant seats to fill due to impeachment, etc.
Whether filling all five seats of the Executive Group, selecting the three leaders of a Branch, Department, Ambassador Group, or Delegate Team, or filling multiple open seats due to impeachments, the basic process remains the same:
The following formula is used to immediately fill all open seats using Proportional-Rank Choice Voting. The formula determines how long each winning candidate will serve, based on their position in the Proportional-Rank Choice Voting results.
(4 * X - Y * 4) years
Where “X” is equal to the number of total leaders needed to fill the group and "Y" is the position from the first choice, starting with 0 (and where the 4 is equal to the number of years between elections).
Then every four years a new leader will be chosen from the pool of qualified and willing candidates like normal to replace the departing member of that initial group.
For example, to select the three leaders for the Branch Officials:
X = 3 | Y = [0|1||2]
The top winner in the Proportional-Rank Choice Vote will serve 12 years (and will be classified as the senior member, only when filling multiple seats):
(4 * 3 - 0 * 4) = 12 years
The runner up will serve 8 years (and will be classified as the middle member, only when filling multiple seats):
(4 * 3 - 1 * 4) = 8 years
And the third and final candidate will serve 4 years (and will be classified as the junior member, when filling multiple seats):
(4 * 3 - 2 * 4) = 4 years
Every consecutive four years there will be a new candidate chosen who will fill the most junior leader from the Year 0 election until each of these initial election winners has been replaced with newly elected leaders that will serve the normal full term.
Another way to consider this is that the Year 0 election winner will be the last one replaced and is the only initial candidate to serve a full term. The runner up is the second to last to be replaced, and so on.
