Austria First kept off ballots!

In what some are calling a plot by the AIM members of Austria First were not allowed to register for Mayor elections in eAustria for the month of August.

Even though Austria First contacted eRepublik administration regarding this issue no response was forthcoming and no rectification took place.

Von Doom, Austria First Party President, was quoted this morning saying "I am thoroughly disgusted with this month's election process. I was not allowed to name candidates in nearly 80% of eAustria even with Party members being present in those towns. I couldn't even name an Austria First candidate in my own hometown of Linz. It wasn't even an option on the ballot registration form! That is ridiculous. When I went to the polls this morning I noticed that AIM was able to put their candidate on the ballot here in Linz but I was not. Something about that just doesn't smelll right."

Whatever the case may be, there is little doubt that the outcome of the August Mayor elections are not indicative of the populations wishes at large.

Let's all hope that the administration will get these issues corrected so that we can have a more fair and open election process in September. We here at Radio Free Austria also maintain our hope that our current ruling government were not part of some plot to block other parties from the elections.
