August is a heavy month in the Citizens of Boomtown calendar. Sadly, my year as Mayor of Boomtown is coming to an end and it will soon be time for me to hand the baton on.
As mayor, your task is to steer the good ship Boomtown through the choppy waters of the interweb. How you do this is entirely up to you - you can choose to sail alone or build a small council around you. But whatever way you decide, your chance to become an indelible part of Boomtown Rats' history is coming soon – grab it with both paws, rodents !!!
One of the things us councillors have been looking at recently, is the way that 'Citizens of Boomtown' works alongside the other Social Media outlets The Rats use. If you're Like Clockwork with Tik Tok or a bit of a twat on Twitter and fancy working with all the other fans that drive the band's social media presence, then this could be just the gig for you!!!
The current timetable for this year’s elections is set out below - but as with everything in Boomtown, things may change. So, please keep a look out for more announcements over the next few weeks.
· Tuesday 8th August – requests go out for nominations for mayor.
· Monday 14th August – this is the deadline for all you hopeful candidates to submit your ideas for Boomtown for the next year.
· Tuesday 15th August – the Mayor of Boomtown 2023-24 poll is launched, and all the citizens get a chance to vote.
· Tuesday 22nd August – voting for the mayoral elections closes.
· Tuesday 29th August – the results of the Mayoral Election are announced.
Best of luck to you all and remember “If you've got little pink eyes you just can't fail”
