July 2011 Election

The July 2011 Election was the first election held on DBZF since June 2010, marking the relaunch of parliament and allowing members to have a greater say in the way the forum was run, as with the previous system.

= Campaigning =

Early on in the election, there was a poll put up by the election speaker (BallotBox) about mudslinging, the community was split pretty evenly if it should be used.

Every party put out something to campaign with however the Capsule Corp Party made a few hate campaigns against the Aperture Laboratories party, this could have had a negative effect on the final result, however from the poll at the end of the debate, it showed the CC in 3rd place, which is where they finished.

= Debate =

This was the first election to have a debate, which took place on IRC and was chaired by Rebel X, the general reception of it was positive.
