Chapter 325: Reforms
As the months went by, Alexander was mostly busy setting up a new and better administrative branch of the Galactic Free Republic. He added the word 'free' to emphasize how seriously any kind of enslavement was to be taken.
He had the whole Galaxy under him at the moment but nobody knew that. Everyone expected the Separatist worlds to show dissatisfaction in joining the republic again but nothing like that happened.
Under the careful eyes of Alexander's droids, every planet would conduct fair elections to choose their representative to sit in the Senate.
Alexander was setting up the same system as on earth but on a bigger scale. Currently, all the Senators were elected through 3 stages. Planetary governments appoint delegates to subsector assemblies. Subsector assemblies elected the members of regional sector assemblies, which in turn elected the actual senators who would serve on Coruscant.
But this was a very confusing and complex method. People had no choice on who would become their representative in the senate.
So, he started dividing the whole galaxy into various sectors. No planet was left alone. Because many planets had colonies, those sectors were divided to keep the people of the same species together.
Then they would have a planetary election and then from the elected members in all planets in the whole sector, another member will be elected to represent the sector in the senate.
There will be a Galactic Senate based in the Coruscant and Sector Senate, which will be based in each sector. Elections will be held every 5 years so if people wanted to continue being in their position then they would need to win the grace of the people in their sector, this would motivate them to work for the betterment of the sectors.
Then there were the minor departments. Mainly Finance, Defence, and Livelihood. Their heads will be selected by 5 heads senators.
