This article lists the types of current and historical elections in Princia and provides an overview of the results by winner. Elections in Princia consist of unitary elections (to elect the national government, the Prince's Order, and any autonomous governments if applicable), economic elections (to elect the economic regulator, the National Commissariat) and royal elections (to elect a monarch). These three elections are always held on the same date, in conjunction with one another, between the first and seventh days of every Gregorian calendar month under the umbrella of a tri-election, provided voter registration exceeds 50% of the eligible voting population one week before voting is due to commence. Historically, from the foundation of the Princian government in January 2018 until the introduction of unitary elections in November 2020, the only type of election to be held in Princia were ministerial elections which were only held in the now-abolished Home Province of Princia (present-day home provinces of Cathairo-Pempire and Addersonheath) despite electing the government of the entire nation. All Princian elections are currently held and overseen by the National Unitary Election & Referendum Commission, more commonly known by its acronym NUERC (pronounced: "new-irk").
Election types
In all types of Princian election (bar royal elections), the voter will vote for a political party itself rather than a specific candidate, with the winning party then allocating one of their members to represent said seat. This means that, within Princia, it is impossible to stand as an independent candidate.
Unitary elections
First stage
In the first stage of unitary elections, the registered population of each electoral district in Princia will vote for a political party to represent them in that district using first-past-the-post voting. The winning party in each district will then allocate a member of their party to sit in the seat as a minister in the lower house of the Princian government, the House of Ministers.
Second stage
In the second stage of unitary elections, once all electoral districts have a minister allocated to represent each from the first stage, these newly-elected ministers will then vote for a political party to represent their constituents in their corresponding electoral province (for example: the Warterby City electoral district is one of the fourteen total electoral districts in the Cathairo-Pempire electoral province). The winning party in each province will then allocate a number of members, depending on the province's entitlement (based on population) in a first-past-the-post winner-takes-all situation, to sit in the seats as lordministers in the upper house of the Princian government, the House of Lordministers.
Economic elections
In economic elections, the registered population of each electoral county in Princia will vote for a political party to represent them in that county using first-past-the-post voting. The winning party in each county will then allocate a member of their party to sit in the seat as a commissar in the Economic Commissariat, an elected executive department under the Lordministry of Economics & Currency.
Royal elections
In royal elections, the registered population of each electoral district in Princia will vote for a candidate to be the monarch (Prince). The winning candidate is the one which carries the first-past-the-post vote of the most districts.
