Department of Federal Elections

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

It will be in January regardless; parliament is up for election every three months, and since the current term began in November, the next elections are slated for January.

Man, I'm going back on the street where things make sense. (Alternatively, could you post a 2018 election calendar in the introduction to Atlasia thread?)

It's on my to-do list.

Not yet. The only major election I see coming next month is the Southern election, which will start on January 19th and end on the 21st.

Will Fremont elections also be occurring in January to your knowledge?

If Kamala calls a snap election. If she doesn't, I believe the next election is due in February.

Right, I am an idiot. Upon consulting the Constitution, the next election will actually be in February (barring an early election). Now, if you will excuse me, I am late for a course in remedial counting.

Note: ReaganClinton has resigned, but it is too late for him to officially drop out.

Note: ReaganClinton has resigned, but it is too late for him to officially drop out.

So what happens if he still gets enough votes to win a seat?

We notify him and he'll either change his mind and be a Representative or resign again, in which case Yankee will appoint a replacement.

He's resigning because of his IRL health. I don't think he'll "change his mind".

Okay then I guess Yankee will appoint a replacement. Good thing I didn't just say "he'll change his mind and be a Representative" and left it at there!

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Nine candidates for nine seats, again; and one of those will need to be replaced immediately if ("if") elected. Not exactly an encouraging sign for our democracy.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

President, Round 1:
Fhtagn/PiT (the Physicist) - 47 (43.12%)
Pericles/MikeWells12 - 32 (29.36%)

RFayette exceeds the quota and is elected. His surplus is redistributed.

JGibson - 9.48264125255276 (45.16%)
ReaganClinton20XX - 9.41493079192194 (44.83%)
Unconfirmed WI: Not_Madigan - 1 (4.76%)
Exhausted - 1.1024279555253 (5.25%)

No candidate reaches the quota, so Madigan is eliminated. His one vote is redistributed.

Round 4:
See note for round 3.
ReaganClinton20XX - 10.4149307919219 (49.59%)
JGibson - 9.48264125255276 (45.16%)
Exhausted - 1.1024279555253 (5.25%)

Federalists - 55 (50.46%) / 5 (55.55%)
Progressives - 20 (18.35%) / 1 (11.11%)
Alliancites - 12 (11.01%) / 1 (11.11%)
