Previously, it had been incorporated within the [[General Assembly]], ~~with~~which ~~the~~served ~~Secretary~~as ~~being~~a combined executive and legislative branch; the ~~dual~~Secretary served as executive leader of the region and their freely appointed ministers as well as legislative leader of the General Assembly's Senators. As per ~~its~~the package's changes, the executive and legislative branches were entirely separated, and the directly elected Secretary was to only beserve ~~the~~as head of the executive Cabinet, which would consist of their appointed and confirmed Ministers, deputies, and any other desired portfolios. The only positions that were required by law were the Secretary, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Recruitment. ===Ministerial changes=== The Minister of Information legislative package, ~~which~~introduced by the [[15th General Assembly]] and passed in November 2019, mandated the existence of the Minister of Information, which was already a voluntarily-appointed portfolio (earlier as Minister of NationStates Affairs). Its responsibilities were specified as regularly running the census and Culture Competitions, maintaining citizenship rolls, and later on enforcing the endorsement cap. Other voluntarily appointed portfolios ~~during~~since ~~this~~the establishment of an independent ~~time~~Cabinet have included the Vice Secretary, Ministers of Apocalyptic Affairs, Community Affairs, Events, Roleplay, and World Assembly Affairs, and a short-lived museum Curator role. ===Separate elections=== The Splitting Elections legislative package, introduced by the [[22nd General Assembly]] and passed in July 2021, separated direct elections for the Secretary and Members of the General Assembly (MGA's). Secretarial elections remain scheduled for the start of every March, June, September, and December, while Legislative elections are scheduled to begin on the 15th of every January, April, July, and October. This meant that Secretarial election campaigns, as well as the subsequent appointments and confirmations of Cabinet members, could take place without simultaneous planning and campaigns for election as MGA's, giving the Secretary and Cabinet its own dedicated electoral cycle. Since the separation of election cycles, partly intended to increase election participation and year-round regional activity, all Secretarial elections have each seen at least three candidates nominate. The [[December 2021 Secretarial election]] was notable for featuring eight final candidates for Secretary on the ballot. ==Terms== {{main\|List of ~~Secretaries~~officeholders}} {\| class="wikitable" style="width:35%; text-align:center;" Line 61 ⟶ 67: \| [[1st Dyl Cabinet\|1st Dyl]] \| [[December 2020 general election\|December 2020]] \|- \| [[2nd Dyl Cabinet\|2nd Dyl]] \| [[March 2021 general election\|March 2021]] \|- \| [[1st New Samon Cabinet\|1st New Samon]] \| [[June 2021 general election\|June 2021]] \|- \| [[2nd Greylyn Cabinet\|2nd Greylyn]] \| [[September 2021 Secretarial election\|September 2021]] \|- \| [[1st Super Awesome Fun Times Cabinet\|1st Super Awesome Fun Times (SAFT)]] \| [[December 2021 Secretarial election\|December 2021]] \|- \| [[2nd Super Awesome Fun Times Cabinet\|2nd SAFT]] \| [[March 2022 Secretarial election\|March 2022]] \|- \| [[1st Podria Cabinet\|1st Podria]] \| [[June 2022 Secretarial election\|June 2022]] \|- \| [[2nd Kavagrad Cabinet\|2nd Kavagrad]] \| [[September 2022 Secretarial election\|September 2022]] \|- \| [[2nd Podria Cabinet\|2nd Podria]] \| [[March 2023 Secretarial election\|March 2023]] \|}
