The next Grand Unified Micronational election to elect the chair and vice-chair will run from 16 December 2021 to 23 December. The new chair and vice-chair will take office on 1 January. Campaigning will begin on 25 November 2021.

The election is the second one held under the new charter, which was enacted on 21 March 2021.

The current chair is Anthony Clark, and the current vice-chair is Lord Lewis.

Procedure

The election will be administered by Adam I of Adammia, the acting supreme justice. The election will use a joint ticket procedure to elect both the chair and vice-chair; before March 2021, the vice-chair was nominated by the newly elected chair and then confirmed by Quorum. There'll also be a campaign ban: no one will be allowed to campaign until three weeks before the election takes place.

This election is the second to use instant-runoff voting.
