A writeup of a popularly elected SAI politician might be interesting.

As it happens, I've been thinking about election laws and nonhumans.

Currently, there are minimum age limits to be considered a full citizen and get the right to vote - but there have been canon references of nonhumans who have attained full citizenship before the customary age of 18 years, which makes sense for quicker-developing SAIs and bioroids. So maybe there are some sort of tests which would permit people to be considered legally adults before the age of 18 if they pass.

However, there are also laws which limit the age when you may be elected to a political office. So how should this be adjusted to reflect faster development of many people?

I'm not quite sure whether it plausibly would be changed, given that the majority of the German population is elderly. But this might make for an interesting "hot button" issue.
