The September 2022 Georgienstinian congressional election was held on 3–4 September 2022.

It resulted in a Georgienstine First victory, with the party keeping its majority, but seeing major losses, as their voter base did not expand and adapt to the growing population. Vision Georgienstine saw minor gains in the popular vote. The new Christian Social Democratic Party saw major gains, due to their large base of new citizens.

Background

The July 2022 Georgienstinian congressional election resulted in Georgienstine First remaining as the majority party, gaining one seat and Vision Georgienstine losing one seat. The results were unexpected as all predictors had predicted a loss in support for Georgienstine First.

On 29 July 2022, Ben Olson resigned as Minority Leader. Nicolas Caiazzo resigned as Minority Whip to run to succeed Pickles as Minority Leader. Caiazzo was unanimously elected Minority Leader and Emerson Lee was unanimously elected Minority Whip.

On 30 July 2022, Matthew Tonna won the speaker election receiving 9 votes, to Saionji Kiyohira's 4, with 3 not voting.

On 23 August 2022, Logan White left Georgienstine First to form the Christian Social Democratic Party.

On the same day, President Raphaël Olivier called an election for 3 September 2022, 20 days before the planned election date.

On 28 August 2022, after the dissolution of congress, congressman Jean Jeannienne resigned to form a political party named "The Right". The party dissolved and Jeannienne rejoined Georgienstine First.

Electoral system and organization

The National Congress is composed of 16 seats elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency, with a legal threshold of 1 full seat (6.25%), and residuals assigned by the D’Hondt method.

Campaign

Georgienstine First

On 26 August 2022, Georgienstine First released its congressional list. The party campaigned on its achievements, including passing numerous acts related to the economy, "ending of inactivity" and efforts to counter "state flooding".

Vision Georgienstine

On 30 August 2022, Vision Georgienstine released its congressional list. The alliance campaigned using libertarian rhetoric on specific issues, proposed bipartisan policies and offered strong opposition to President Raphaël Olivier.

Christian Social Democratic Party

On 24 August 2022, the Christian Social Democratic Party released its congressional list. The party did not propose any policies, with leader Logan White promising to "see what else he can accomplish". The list was criticised for placing new and inactive citizens very high and placing experienced politician Andrew Perdomo last.
