Official logo of NUERC (pronounced: "new-irk"), the government department responsible for organising and overseeing unitary elections since 13th January 2022

This article lists every unitary election (sometimes abbreviated to UE) held within the Princian Commonwealth to directly elect ministers in single-member electoral districts then lordministers through an electoral college of ministers in multi-member electoral provinces to the House of Ministers and House of Lordministers of the Prince's Order (Princian government). Unitary elections replaced the previous biannual ministerial elections that were held from the founding of the Prince's Order in January 2018 until the creation of monthly unitary elections in November 2020. Governor-Generals may also be elected in coexistence with lordministers for specifically designated provinces. Some parties, due to the electoral structure, may end out with a fraction of a seat - this means that a non-biased representative of the parties in which the seat is divided will take the seat. Following the 2022 NUERC Act passed on 13 January 2022, unitary elections are organised and overseen by the National Unitary Election & Referendum Commission (more commonly known by its acronym, NUERC).

Changes in number of seats

Admission of Southopearce & Allisterloo

In preparation for the July 2021 7th Unitary Election, the Metropolitan Party presented to the Prince their plans to admit the Home Province of Southopearce and Union Protectorate of Allisterloo to participate. Prince Joshua promptly accepted the proposal and divided Southopearce into 29 electoral districts and Allisterloo into 32. This brought the number of seats in the House of Ministers from 36 to 97, the House of Head Ministers from 15 to 24 and the House of Lord-Ministers from 5 to 7.

Act of Electoral Reform

The 2021 Act of Electoral Reform created three new electoral districts from the previous boundaries: The Loacker (previously within Ashwield), The Fearne (previously within Lapgate City) and Kanpaltown (previously within Castlegrove City). The act also merged the electoral county of Warterby City into the electoral county of Rokkia - thus for the October 2021 10th Unitary Election the number of seats in the House of Ministers increased from 97 to 100 and the number of seats in the House of Head Ministers decreased from 24 to 23.

Act of Cathairo-Pempire

The 2021 Act of Cathairo-Pempire merged the two Home Provinces of Cathair and Pempire into the Home Province of Cathairo-Pempire, while also merging their respective electoral regions - meaning they now share a Lord-Minister, decreasing the number of seats in the House of Lord-Ministers from 7 to 6.

Act of Parvusmount

The 2022 Act of Parvusmount converted the Parvusmount Self-Determined Protectorate into the Parvusmount Self-Determined Province, thus admitting the populace to participate in unitary elections. This increased the number of seats in the House of Ministers from 100 to 124, the House of Head Ministers from 23 to 29 and House of Lord-Ministers from 6 to 7.

Metropolitan Party

Being the creator of unitary elections, the Metropolitan Party easily won the first three, with the latter two being majorities. The Metropolitan Party later formed an extremely successful coalition with the United Democratic Party for the sixth and seventh unitary elections due to the rise in popularity of the People's Party & Princian Party of Socialists and the weariness these two parties uphold towards the PPS' communist views. Since the aforementioned coalition, the Metropolitan Party has not won another unitary election.

United Democratic & Liberal Party

From the creation of unitary elections to the present day, the United Democratic & Liberal Party (known as the United Democratic Party until the ninth unitary election) has seen a surge in popularity like no other party has since the establishment of Princia itself. The UDP has won more consecutive unitary elections than any party and holds a record of three for winning consecutive majorities and still gaining seats in succeeding elections.
