Congratulations to the Senators Elect for the Third Term of the Galactic Senate:
In addition, we are announcing the following changes to the Senate Program effective with the Fourth Term (beginning Fall 2023):
1. Break in Service Requirement - To encourage diversity in the Senate, no Senator may hold office in the same seat for more than two consecutive terms. A Senator may retake the same seat after a break in service of at least one term or be elected to a different seat. (For example, Luke can be the Medic Senator for two terms in a row but not a third, but Luke could run for the Ranged Senator seat for a third term, then run for the Medic seat again, or Luke could take a break all together after holding the Medic Senator seat for two terms).
2. Profession Requirements -
