The Voter Act of 2058
The Voter Act of 2058
Article I: Findings and Purpose
Recognizing that informed and responsible civic participation is essential to the well-being of America, this Act seeks to establish a system of representation that prioritizes the wisdom and experience of those who have demonstrated their commitment to the nation's prosperity.
Historical analysis reveals that uninformed and impulsive decision-making by the general populace can lead to instability, economic volatility, and social unrest.
This Act aims to safeguard the nation's future by entrusting voting power to those who have demonstrated sound judgment, financial acumen, and a vested interest in America's long-term stability.
Article II: Net Worth and Voting Rights
Voting rights in federal elections shall be granted to citizens with a net worth exceeding one million American dollars.
Net worth shall be calculated annually based on assets and liabilities as determined by the Department of the Treasury.
For every one million dollars in net worth, a citizen shall be entitled to one vote.
Article III: Vote Allocation and Proxy
Within families or designated entities, voting rights may be allocated among members or assigned to a designated proxy.
Fractional votes shall be accumulated and applied towards the next whole vote in subsequent elections.
Article IV: Voter Registration and Verification
Eligible citizens must register with the Central Voter Registry and provide documentation to verify their net worth.
The Department of the Treasury shall maintain the Registry and ensure the accuracy and integrity of voter information.
Article V: Transition and Implementation
A phased implementation plan shall be enacted to ensure a smooth transition to the new voting system.
Public awareness campaigns shall be conducted to educate citizens about the revised voting rights and registration procedures.
Article VI: Repeal of Conflicting Legislation
All previous legislation pertaining to voting rights that conflicts with the provisions of this Act is hereby repealed.
Article VII: Effective Date
This Act shall take effect on January 1, 2059.
This "Voter Act" establishes the plutocratic voting system central to your dystopian society. It uses language that emphasizes responsible civic participation and the wisdom of the wealthy while effectively disenfranchising the majority of the population. This Act solidifies the division between the Ruling Class and the Working Class, creating a system where wealth directly equates to political power.
