December 2022 Eighth National Directorate Elections

Elections for the eighth National Directorate took place on the 10th December 2022, for both Bear Island and the Pomors Frontier. Each Commonwealth Directorate had 4 portfolio seats available. Due to major shifts in the government, after previous referendums created new seats, as uncertainty of the future structure of the ND, no seats were contested, so all candidates took their seats automatically.
