Polos

A polos (pl. polex) is a government official in the Empire of Sevicia who oversees the administration and governance of a certain district of a village, town, city, or region. The title is a senior-ranking position in the heirarchy of Sevicia's government and is often among the last stepping stones for young politicians before they join Sevicia's illustrious central governing body, the Senate.
Cities and towns within Sevicia are separated into distinctive named districts, with each one overseen by a polos. Polex are chosen by a vote, usually held in a public space, every two years, on the 3rd day of Tullena I (the third day of the calendar year), one day after new senators are chosen for office. A polos holds the office for two years consecutively and can run for an unlimited number of terms, though in practice most polex only serve one or two terms before transferring to higher offices of power. The polex of each city report to and are overseen by a governor, who is elected to a term of five years and who governs the combined districts of a settlement.
The requirements for election to the role of polos are identical to those of a governor and very similar to those of the senate. They are:
* Candidates must be at least 21 years old at the time of appointment.
* Candidates must be of Sevician birth, including its constituent kingdoms Lish, Esta, and Maerowyn, and must have spent a minimum of twelve years living in the Empire.
* Candidates can be of any ethnic, racial, or national background provided they are Sevician citizens.
* Candidates may be either male or female.
* Candidates must speak fluent Sevician.
