2024 Shea Presidential Election

The 2024 Shea Presidential Election took place on the 5th of June 2024 and was the sixth presidential election in Shea. The election led to Corine Layton being elected as President of Shea and is set to become president on the 1st of July 2024.
== Background ==
The first president of Shea was Vedastus Flann who was an Alternative politician who served as president for ten years between 1999 and 2009. His two terms were well liked by the public but he could not stand for a third term and was expected to be defeated anyways by a Conservative Populist candidate. Darrel Miller of the Conservative Populist Party was elected by the Chamber as president in 2009 and continued on until 2019, winning a second term in 2014. The 2019 candidacy was expected to be a victory for a new Conservative Populist candidate but Movement, who were apart of the current right-wing coalition at the time, voted against their own government and ended up leading to Alternative candidate, Nikolas Reverend, becoming president.
== Electoral System ==
Presidential elections in Shea are indirect elections. The Chamber of Deputies elects the president every five years an usually all the parties in a coalition government will vote for the presidential candidate of the largest party in government. Parties that are not in government tend to just vote for the candidate of their own party. This has been true except for the 2019 Presidential Election that became the first two round presidential election in the country's history.
