Results

No territories or states voted early in these elections, and Ela'r'oech News Source did not have live updates as usual. The results led to a near-sweep for Jaden Armstrong in comparison to Clark and Jacobs. In hindsight, these results were blamed on both Clark and Jacobs splitting the conservative vote of the Empire, allowing Armstrong to secure the moderate, liberal, and centre-right votes.

The final results were as follows;

Name	Party	Wing	Electoral votes	Popular vote (Percentage estimate)
Jaden Armstrong	Ela'r'oech Lew Elaroek	Traditional Wing	13/36 (36%)	44.2%
Terry Jacobs	Ela'r'oech Lew Elaroek	Traditional Wing	12/36 (33%)	36.5%
Ian Clark	Ela'r'oech Lew Elaroek	Traditional Wing	11/36 (31%)	19.2%
