The March 2024 Coloradan parliamentary election was held on 1 March 2024. It was the country's first parliamentary election.
Background
In October 2023, an institutional referendum was held in which voters approved the transition from the Grand Duchy of Colorado to the Republic of Colorado. From 29 October 2023 to 17 February 2024, the Republic was governed under a charter on temporary provisions and a transitional government led by Friedrich von Colorado. On 17 February 2024, the Republican Constitution was ratified and adopted by the constitutional assembly.
Following the adoption of the Republican Constitution, the Republic of Colorado's first parliamentary was scheduled for 1 March 2024. The Republic of Colorado's first presidential election was set to be scheduled after the parliamentary election was held. The Colorado Party, which had established itself as the dominant political force since the Republic's founding, solidified its role in the Republican Constitution as the sole legal political party. Consequently, it was the only party to participate in both elections.
Electoral system
According to the Republican Constitution, the General Assembly must consist of no fewer than 5 seats and no more than 9 seats.
In the lead-up to the Republic of Colorado's first parliamentary election, the transitional government implemented a referendum-style system for selecting members of the General Assembly. Under this system, voters were presented with a ballot listing the Colorado Party's candidates. They could choose to either approve or reject the list by voting "Yes" or "No."
Theoretically, if the "No" option had won, the election would have been repeated with the admission of other electoral lists.
