Kent is governed by a delegation consisting of 11 equally ranked delegates who serve 7-year terms.
When a member of the delegation dies or completes their term, the remaining delegates elect (majority rule) the replacement. In case of tied votes, the leaving delegate (if alive) will vote.
To elect a new member, in case of death or retirement, at least seven delegates must be present. If seven are present, they choose members to fill the remaining seats. If less than seven are alive, then the people elect the remaining delegates.
This delegation sets all laws and manages departments.
- Justice - 3 seats - manages courts, police, and acts as supreme court.
- Security - 2 seats - Manages army and intelligence. (Declaration of war requires unanimous vote of all 11 delegates)
- Health - 2 seats - Manages agriculture and medicine.
- Industry - 2 seats - Manages manufacturing and resources.
- Civil Peace - Manages culture and employment.
- Interior - Manages government-funded roads and buildings.
(Each district also contains a delegation of 11 members who handle laws and departments.)
