Final Tallies:
-Head of the KuK Design Bureau: Responsible for putting out the design criteria I need to meet when constructing new ships for our glorious fleet and decides on the designs we build
[4] Freifrau Doktor Thekla von Arnstein
[4] Miran Mlakar
-Constructor General: Determines our research, as well what ratios we build our warships in, and what aircraft we get.
[1] Miran Mlakar
[4] Bela Svboda
[4] Bruno Tesařik
That said, given this post
And the fact that Scia didn't vote because she was asleep, we could consider the tiebreaking vote to be hers for FrFr. Dr. Thekla V. Arnstein and Bela Svboda. I'm also a bit leery of doing so, however, since it might feel like favoritism to count an uncast but implied vote.
So what I'm going to do is roll a dice.
1: Bela Svboda and Dr. V. Arnstein
2: Bela Svboda and Miran Mlakar
3: Bruno Tesarik and Miran Mlakar
4: Bruno Tesarik and Dr. V. Arnstein
Also, please add the position you're voting for to your vote next time, it makes counting very difficult otherwise.
Aand the dice say 3.

Honored members of the Reichsrat. It is now April 1900. The past three months have been largely uneventful. Our naval staff decided on a policy of even intelligence gathering, fiscal conservatism and national pride, and so far it seems to work well.
Our treasury grows alongside our third Monarch sibling, the Battleship Vítkovci, named by our Constructor General for the noble family of southern Bohemia. Some comments were drawn at court about the optics of naming a K.u.K. Marine vessel for a minor noble family from a province, but Franz Ferdinand was charmed by the idea of Bohemian representation in the dual crown. He has requested an interview with the Constructor General and claims to be considering supporting the Navy further in future.
The events of the first few months are largely routine. Our neighbors increase their battleship and heavy cruiser tonnage commensurate with our own or more. The French, interestingly, speak of a new "Amiral Charner" class on the slips at Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire, but we cannot find blueprints of the new class as of yet. Germany has hidden additional naval funding via pork bills in the Reichstag, and Italy fortifies against the French, the fools!
Finally, German fishermen inexplicably wander into our naval testing grounds off Trieste. Our most reasonable Foreign Attache Haas has suggested that the vessel's appearance in the Trieste restricted zone is highly unusual and suspect. The Germans found these accusations offensive, but certainly they see the suspicious behavior?
I graciously await further reports from the naval staff to provide this most August body.

Honored members of the Reichsrat. It is now June 1900. The past three months have been considerably eventful. I offer for your perusal, the newspaper headlines for this week.
The news is, broadly, favorable. Allow me to start at the beginning. Our Foreign Attache was approached by foreign minister Graf Gołuchowski, about a hypothetical security arrangement with France.
Though the Vítkovci was scrapped, our office retains a favorable outlook on this event.
This has left the Crowns without a battleship design that meets treaty obligations, however, despite our retention of the two existing Monarchs.
In other news, our research department underperforms on tests of our new explosive mixture.
Finally, the intelligence dispatches. While Britain, America and France are building more coastal batteries, the treaty has scrapped the majority of the ships that the other nations have begun to build in the past few months, excluding the German light cruisers.
