**Fall Cabinet Elected**
_(Wintreath, 12 September 2020)_ - Wintreath elected its Cabinet for fall 2020 last week, on September 6. 5 candidates were elected into office.
Nominations were opened on August 25 by Wintreath Monarch Wintermoot. The Monarchy sets the structure of the Cabinet as well as the selection process, but traditionally Cabinet members are elected into office. Each citizen is eligible to hold two Thane positions at a time.
All Thane positions were open for election this term. The Thane of Roleplay, Thane of Werewolf, and Thane of World Assembly Affairs were all uncontested elections filled by the incumbents. The Thane of Embassies and Thane of Foreign Releases had multiple citizens stand for the position, but one of the candidates for Thane of Embassies suspended their campaign shortly before the election, leaving the Thane of Embassies race uncontested. The Thane of Gaming and the Thane of Integration positions were both unfilled. All candidates were successfully vetted to run for office by their respective Jarls.
The election was opened on September 1 by Wintermoot. The only contested position was the Thane of Foreign Releases, with candidates Monkey and Barnes vying for a spot. Both candidates released platforms, and were active in engaging with questions in their campaign thread.
Barnes won the election by a vote of 9 to 1, with 2 abstentions. In his election results announcement, Wintermoot noted “That's not a slight against his competitor, [M]onkey, though, as most people indicated that they just preferred two separate people as FA thanes and he had already won a seat by default. Both candidates ran excellent campaigns that were very responsive and articulate, and I'm happy that there was a seat for both of them in the end”.
The fall Cabinet is listed as follows:
**Jarl of Culture: Ruguo**
Thane of Gaming: Vacant
Thane of Roleplay: Excalibur
Thane of Werewolf: Red Mones
**Jarl of Foreign Affairs: Michi**
Thane of Foreign Releases: Barnes
Thane of Embassies: monkey
**Jarl of Regional Affairs: Doc**
Thane of Integration: Vacant
Thane of World Assembly Affairs: Ogunbiy6422
The fall Cabinet will serve until the next election, on December 1.
