Chapter 284: Chapter 252: The Upcoming House of Representatives Election_2
What Arthur was more concerned about was the report from the Ministry of Civil Affairs on the immigration situation over the past two months.
Currtly, immigration in Australasia can be described as growing higher and stronger each year.
After setting a new immigration record last year, the number of immigrants in the first two months of 908 has already exceeded 30,000, and there is hope of setting a new high this year.
If the addition of the data for the first half month of March is tak into account, the number of immigrants in 908 has already exceeded 70,000, with an average of over ,000 immigrants received in Australasia every day, showing the terrifying speed of immigration in Australasia today.
It is precisely because of such an exaggerated number of immigrants that Australasia conducts csus actions almost every year to determine the true population of Australasia and facilitate governmt planning for the next step.
At prest, with the addition of these new immigrants, the population of Australasia has exceeded 7,300,000, and the population of Sydney has officially surpassed ,000,000.
Of course, it is limited to ,000,000.
After the population of Sydney reached ,000,000, under the efforts of various departmts such as the Propaganda Departmt, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Education, the vast majority of the remaining immigrants have be relocated to West Australia and South Australia, and the remaining half have gone to New Zealand.
West Australia and South Australia's most popular attraction is, of course, the rapidly developing Leonora Industrial Base.
This industrial base is highly valued by Australasia and is expected to create ts of thousands of industrial jobs in the future, making it necessary to migrate to the area as early as possible.
In addition to the good news that immigration has the pottial to set a new high, Australasia's currt financial revue situation is also very good.
The total fiscal revue in the first two months has already exceeded 7 million Australian Dollars, and although investmts are also massive, this can also be considered good news.
Minister Grant also reported on the actions and achievemts of the Propaganda Departmt, and Arthur couraged him to lay out more plans abroad and promote other cities in Australasia to attract more immigrants.
Arthur also proposed an idea to create a ranking list of suitable cities for immigration and to extsively publish and promote it overseas.
As it is a list created by Australasia itself, there is no harm in slightly favoring its own interests.
As long as those European citizs choose to believe in this list, the Propaganda Departmt's plan will be successful.
Never mind if it's true or not, just deceive the immigrants first. After all, immigrants in this era are not too wealthy, and it's not that easy for them to afford -trip tickets.
Of course, Arthur only put forward an idea, and how it is done and what to do depds on Minister Grant's ability.
For Arthur, all he needs to do is guide the country's developmt at a macro level, while those officials are the real choice for micro-level execution.
If a country needs its king to be personally involved in all aspects, th the country is destined not to last long.
After more than two hours of reporting, the meeting finally reached the last agda item, the upcoming House of Represtatives election.
The House of Represtatives election is a nationwide political activity in Australasia, and is welcomed and participated in by most Australasians.
According to the last House of Represtatives election in 906, more than two million Australasians participated in the voting for the 98 seats in the House of Represtatives, showing the importance of the election in the hearts of Australasians.
This year's election is separated from the previous one by a two-year gap, and the number of immigrants has increased by more than ,000,000 during this time.
This indicates that the number of people participating in the votes this year is definitely more than two million, and the process and plan for voting needs to be more detailed to avoid any accidts during the election.
Justice, opness, and accuracy are the topics that Arthur cares about. The officers also know Arthur's ideas, after all, the election of the House of Represtatives is not the first time.
However, each election is differt, as Australasia develops, the election of the House of Represtatives will be more and more valued by people, and the number of participants will certainly be more and more.
In order to fully count these people's votes, not only do a large number of officials need to calculate, but also go deep into cities and towns to collect the inttions of all people. This is a big project, at least for the currt Australasian governmt.
In fact, the governmt officials also attach great importance to the election of the House of Represtatives, as most of these officials have already had a party, and their parties also care about the proportion of seats they occupy in the House of Represtatives elections.
After all, according to the regulations of Australasia, the proportion of seats they occupy in the House of Represtatives determines how much funding they can get each year and whether their main officials can ter cabinet departmts.
For example, the two larger parties in Australasia, the Unity Party, and the Rural Party, have each obtained a Cabinet Minister's seat and the eligibility to ter the Cabinet Governmt because they occupy more seats in the House of Represtatives.
This is, after all, the Cabinet Governmt, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ter the highest governmt, one that no party or individual can afford to miss.
After more than four hours of discussion, the governmt finally finalized an election process and plan that satisfied everyone.
First, there are the voting collection boxes, all villages and cities in Australia need to be equipped. Among them, small villages should be equipped with one voting collection box, large villages and small towns with two voting collection boxes, and large towns and small cities with three voting collection boxes.
For cities with populations exceeding 50,000, 0,000, and 00,000, they will be equipped with four, six, and t voting collection boxes, respectively.
For all voting collection boxes, not only do soldiers specifically protect them, but state governmts also need to sd a certain number of officials, who will be dispersed and supervise the voting collection boxes in their non-residtial areas.
Apart from the double supervision of soldiers and officials, state governmts also need to organize manpower to carry out random inspections on the voting collection boxes within their jurisdiction to avoid accidts.
Moreover, Arthur and the Cabinet Governmt will also carry out random spot checks, which is equivalt to a five-layer insurance and basically prevts any accidts.
The House of Represtatives elections will begin on June st, with the voting period from June st to June 0th and the transportation phase from June st to July st.
All the votes will be counted by the state governmts, under the supervision of the Royal Parliamt, the House of Represtatives, the Cabinet Governmt, the royal family, the people, and the military, and random spot checks will be carried out on the counted votes.
States have about 0 days to count the votes, and it is expected that on July st, state governmts will report the final results to the Cabinet Governmt. After random spot checks are error-free, the results of the House of Represtatives elections will be announced a July 5th.
In order to prevt possible accidts during the election period, ev after the results are announced, all votes will still be conctrated in the capital, with Arthur personally organizing manpower to re-examine them.
If the state's statistical situation is incorrect or ev significantly differt, not only will the election results of the House of Represtatives be rejected, but the state governmts will also bear the corresponding responsibilities and ev trace back to each voting box.
Arthur does not believe that under such a strict electoral system, there will still be people who secretly violate the rules or ev cheat.
After all, the final result will be reviewed. If state governmts have the guts to tamper with the results, let them try it.
Most people approve of such an election plan, so it was smoothly determined as the 908 House of Represtatives election plan and announced to the public.
This also means that people have more than two months to think about who they should support as their new represtatives.
