At the September 2013 Sabioveronese general election, the people of Sabia and Verona elected all 20 members of the Sabioveronese Legislative Courts and a new Prime Minister. The election was held on September 15, 2013. Originally the general election was to be held on December 2013, but plans changed when Prime Minister Napoléon Bleuberrie headed a failed self-coup attempt, seizing the Legislative Building. Although Bleuberrie's self-coup failed to set, its implications caused a long series of emergency actions in the political system, including bringing the election forward.
Ann Stefanović was elected with 75% of the overall votes, carrying all Municipalities.[1] The turnout was of 66%, the lowest of all the Sabioveronese elections.
Sabia and Verona held its second general election on May 2013, six months after the 2012 election and concluding Osez Kóvérsz' first term as Prime Minister. The election resulted in Napoléon Bleuberrie of the Socialist Party being elected to office for his second term. During Bleuberrie's first month as Prime Minister, Sabia and Verona enjoyed a relatively quiet political environment and the alliance between the Roots Party and the Initiative for Democracy became the Progressive Coalition, which would later also include the Pashqari People's Party. On July 25, 2013 Bleuberrie and a group of Bleuberrists high officers of the Land Army led an assault to the Legislative Palace in Salisse, where Bleuberrie dissolved the Courts and the Karasal Council. Bleuberrie's self-coup however failed; Bleuberrie was arrested and the Karasal Council established a provisional government. Elections were set to September 2013 by the provisional government, led by General Rubén Hernández. On September 12, 2013 it was announced the general election had been moved from September 24 to September 15, decision made by the Karasal Council.

Initiative for Democracy and the Pashqari People's Party, both new parties without seats prior to the election, received 5 and 3 seats respectively.
↑Kóvérsz was never leader of the Unity Party; instead, he was the Prime Minister-candidate designated by Unity leader Graham Müntz.
↑The percentage of votes acquired in the previous election and attributed to the Roots Party was in fact collected by the Strawberry Party and the Free Suyu Front, which merged into Roots on 10 June 2013.
