February 2023 Elarian federal elections

The Elarian federal elections held in February 2023 were the second federal elections of the Empire of Ela'r'oech. Elected offices for the election are the Presidency. The elections were held on 20 February 2023 to elect the President of Ela'r'oech. Following a massive amount of inactivity after Ela'r'oech's war declaration, it is unclear of who will run for President.

Andrew Perdomo is yet to announce if he will run for a second term.

Background

Procedure

In order to become a candidate, a nomination form must first be completed, stating full name, micronational address, party affiliation and signature, and returned to the current Head of Election Committee; they become a candidate as soon as the Committee declares their nomination valid. The Election Committee is required to make nomination forms available as soon as possible after an election is called. Candidates may withdraw at any time before the elections.

All candidates standing in federal elections must be over the age of 15.

Candidate eligibility

You cannot run for public office in Ela'r'oech if you are a convict, felon, terrorist, or spy in the nation. Additionally, all previous Prime Ministers of the nation and those representing an executive public office in the previous incarnation of the Empire of Ela'r'oech are eligible to run for any public office which will be elected in the federal elections.

Potential campaign issues

Activity

Following the declaration of war from Ela'r'oech, the nation has fallen into a steep decline in activity. This is presumed to be a major campaign issue.

Role of the Emperor

Following Charles I's announcement that the nation needs to either become more active or he will step down, his role as Emperor will likely be a campaign issue.
