History

Elections Begin

On 29 August 2019, the 2nd General Election of the Norfolk Empire began. The 2nd General Election was begun to elect the second Prime Minister of the Norfolk Empire and to elect each of the four seats of the House of Commons, as it should under the constitution. The Royal Decree that was signed by HIM Emperor Jason Norfolk I two months ago says that citizens of the Norfolk Empire can start announcing their candidacy for the multiple offices on 29 August 2019, today, through 1 September 2019. That leaves citizens with three days, including 29 August 2019, to announce their candidacy for either position.  Besides the three citizens that have previously announced candidacy for the Office of the Prime Minister, which are HG Duke Iyan Seeker I (Green-Republican), Mayor Emmett Winters (Democratic), and Fmr. General Max Joseph (Moderate-Communist), no one is yet to announce a bid for the Prime Minister. HRM Prime Minister Duchess Dorothy Norfolk I so far has not announced a re-election campaign yet and will most likely not run again. HRM Duke Roger Bluetoski I was expected to run, but he declined the offer to run in this election, mainly due to personal matters. Tamcoopese President Tammy Norfolk also said she did not want to run again. HG Duke Iyan Seeker I of the Green-Republican Party is running on a platform of equality, Mayor Emmett Winters of the Democratic Party is running on a platform of equality and strong anti-taxation, and Fmr. General Max Joseph of the Moderate-Communist Party is running on a platform of Stalinism and anti-taxation. Besides the Prime Minister, the four seats of the House of Commons each have at least one candidate running, except for the 1st District of Bitty Ridge. For the 1st District of the Dellfolk, HRM Duke Roger Bluetoski I is running as a Green-Republican advocating for Environmentalism against HRM Duchess Jonelle Bluetoski I as an Independent also advocating for Environmentalism. For the 1st District of Bitty Ridge, no one is currently running, but HRM Duchess Dorothy Norfolk I is expected to announce her candidacy unopposed as a Green-Republican also advocating for Environmentalism. In the 1st District of New Tenochtitlan, HRH Prince Cooper Norfolk I, a Green-Republican advocating for Environmentalism, Animal Protection, Equality, the continuation of the 5 USD Monthly Tax, and Fiscal Centrism is running unopposed. Then finally, in the 1st District of Seekeria, HG Duke Iyan Seeker I, a Green-Republican advocating for equality, is running unopposed. Each candidate received a campaign sign from HRH Prince Cooper Norfolk I in a language of their choosing. Lots of candidates just re-used their campaign signs from the last election.[1]

First Debate for Prime Minister

3 September 2019, the first debate for the Office of the Prime Minister occurred at 13:00 GMT-4 between Green-Republican HG Duke Iyan Seeker I, Democrat Mayor Emmett Winters, and Moderate-Communist Fmr. General Max Joseph. The debate occurred in New Tenochtitlan, to be specific the southernmost part of the mainland of the District of New Tenochtitlan. All candidates were able to attend the debate. The debate moderator was HRH Prince Cooper Norfolk I, who was in charge of organizing the elections. HRH Prince Cooper Norfolk I had transcribed the debate for the Imperial Gazette and posited on to their website. In total, there were forty-nine questions asked.

HG Duke Iyan Seeker I proved himself to a more serious candidate, while Fmr. General Max Joseph and Mayor Emmett Winters proved themselves to be very unserious and unprofessional. HG Duke Iyan Seeker I answered questions more fully than both candidates.[2]

In the District of New Tenochtitlan, one-hundred percent of the population voted for HG Duke Iyan Seeker I for Prime Minister.
