r625, section B.3:
B.3. Consent of Ministers 
 Any Minister may cease to be a Minister for any reason by stating that they 
do so in a Public Forum. 

Any player nominated for any Ministry may refuse that nomination at any time 
by announcing that they do so in a public forum. 

So, you don't need to consent to be elected, but you do need to refuse it on a 
public forum.
