Well Creedy allows dual citizenships but not Durham to my knowledge.
Also looks like no worries about Ron stepping in, he's gone inactive.
And here's a copy of the news announcement that was broadcast about this.
* The election will occur between 0:05 August 31st and 0:05 September 1st server time at Durham's shaman Kadmor. Charles Cavendish, Edward Grey, Lukas Alexander, Matt Wilkinson, Phoneixlord, and Xeron are the listed candidates.
* The votes will be counted by Dappled Shadow. Durham Citizens members and Durham nationals (those of Durham origin) over level two are eligible to vote. In order to vote, you may tell Dappled Shadow in the designated election period your first, second, and third choice of candidate or submit your choices in a postal vote on the forum. Negative votes (voting 'anyone else but them') will not be counted.
