This thread will contain all the important announcements, rules, and FYIs for the upcoming Aldurian general election, which includes:
- Presidential elections;
- Parliamentary elections.
ELECTION CALENDAR
FIRST ALDURIAN GENERAL ELECTIONS, 1672
- Candidacy paper filing will be open until Friday May 10th.
- Saturday, May 11: Election begins! Both parliamentary and presidential elections are conducted.
- All political parties must submit their logo, a campaign platform, and narrative details about the party, campaign, and candidates to help form the party’s identity.
- Presidential candidates will have to also submit their campaign logo and platform. It will be expected that the platform of the presidential candidate will closely match that of the more broad platform that the party as a whole has adopted.
- Parties themselves will decide how to determine who will be their candidate. If a primary needs to happen, it will happen over the first three days of the campaign, with results at the end of those first three days.
- Sunday, May 12 to Sunday, May 26: Each day of the campaign is one turn. Candidates and parties will have to have made at least some submission of material, speeches, or activities for them to advance and grow in the polls. There will be polling updates and commentary provided throughout the campaign. You can get away with losing turns or not submitting every day - but if you let it go for too long, it will start to hurt you electorally. Limit before you start to suffer at the polls: 3 turns/3 days.
- Monday, May 27: Results! Will be posted in the forums, there may be a live results chat for the election on Discord.
Remember when I said that candidacy filings closed?
Sike! Just kidding. They'll be open through out the election, so new people interested in participating can jump in and join the fun.
