Proposed Law, Voter's Rights Protection Act
The rights of all eligible voters shall be protected in each individual member state as well as in the Regional Government discourse.
Each individual country maintains the right to set a voting age, reject felons from voting, and reject non-citizens. These are not required nor not allowed.
As per the Constitution of Saxon-Justice, democratic elections should be the norm, and violators are subject to punishment, including but not limited to; barring from holding office, removal from current office, or prohibition from membership on the supreme court. Punishment should be decided by Supreme Court.
Amendments:
I. Furthermore, this law prohibits party leadership from punishing members for how they vote, regardless of party platform. Those convicted of this act will be removed from their position and barred from holding regional and party offices. Parties can take further action if they so choose.
II. Violation of this law is NOT grounds for banishment, granted the violator is an active member of the region.
Inactive members (inactive for a week or more with no prior notice) will be subject to banishment.

Update 12.12.16
I've noticed with the growth of our region has come with many nations with outlawed elections. If we continue to grow, the DODA cannot keep up with cross checking every single member and recommending banishment to all of them. And so I propose these amendments to the law, relaxing the punishments that can be granted. I just don't feel the banishment of active members is really just for so small an issue. If they are inactive though, then that is a different story.
