Thread: Im new to politician
Placing a structure (house) in to a city does not make you a citizen. Each person much "Declare Citizenship" in thier house. Since you only got one message saying so you, in effect, only had one citizen since the mayor doesn't count as an actual citizen for this purpose.
When I help a new person move in to our city I stand there and wait until I get an email that they have declared. If not, then they will live in the city limits without actually being a citizen!
I hope this helps. If you have more questions feel free to ask here or at [email protected]

Added: I think I forgot to mention that you need to have 10 citizens (not including the mayor) to "Declare Citizenship" in thier house at the Structure Terminal within 24 hours or the city will go poof. (KB article 6384)

It was out of order. They would need to declare residence after the City Hall was placed. If they declared prior to that, the resident would need to reenter their house in order for the citizenship to register.

Im fairly new to politician but have been playing swg for a while now. I just attempted to start a city last week and much to my dismay the city hall vanished after the 24 hour window. I wasnt able to locate additional details on this but this is what I have done so far:
13 Citizens declared and ready to go
placed city hall
dumped in 100k of maintnance
got 1 email of new citizen (this guy was online when i placed the hall)
got 13 emails of new structures within city limits
city mgmt terminal listed 2 citizens, myself and the guy mentioned above
freaked out! some of my guys are on LOA temporarily
went on recruiting kick for 4 hours and brought in 4 more people (not many, my personal best was 30 new recruits in under a month in my last town)
I suppose my question is... Why did it poof and why did it not count all those citizens? Do they need to declare within 24 hours after placing the hall?
Happened to me as well, started the city almost a week ago, had people declared, but they didn't show up on the city hall terminal, so quickly had to shout around DECLARE PLS 
and it seemed that when they clicked declare (even if it told them you have to wait xx hours) it updated, and I got my mail 
Now the city is running fine, will update to Rank 2 at the coming city update
