The CCU presidential election of 2127 will be the next quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on March 16, 2127. This follows Movement President Ruiz's second un-consecutive four-year term from 2123 to 2127. 
Once again, it shaped up to be a race between the Movement, Reform Party and Union Party.a However, Reform's momentum since the last election saw the Union move to third place, while Reform was adequately losing to Movement.a Vidal clamed that she was "the best option to defeat Heffner."a In early polls, media-thought nominee Cristine Alfaro had largely trailed and brought the Union Party to new lows, but after Vidal won nomination, Union largely recovered and started battling Reform for 2nd place.a However, as the election came closer, Union consistently trailed Reform and was considered a "non-threat."a As the election came closer, both Walters and Vidal warned that Heffner could become a potential "puppet" for Ruiz, who would continue to lead under the guise of Heffner, potentially taking top cabinet positions of Heffner's government or leading from behind and influencing policy.a Heffner attacked these accusations, stating that she, having become President before Ruiz, was an Independent Movement Vice President, and would make her own decisions as President.a One month prior to the election, Heffner resigned as Vice President and stated she wanted to clear any rumors that she would be a "puppet".a Ruiz announced Richard Bussey as her Vice President choice, narrowly being voted in largely due to a number of absent Senators who had not expected Heffner to resign nor Bussey to be appointed so soon, or any VP.a Although the move was viewed by many as a stunt, some also noted that it allowed some voters to see another perspective of the Movement party, which had been associated with Ruiz or Heffner since its inception.a Bussey confirmed that he would not be chosen as the Movement running mate, with Heffner stating that "as I said before, my decision is my own. I believe the choice is free."a When asked if Bussey would serve in a potential next Movement government, Heffner stated that "while top positions are sure to be unique, it is not vital to not include Ruiz administration members in a hypothetical, as Ruiz has been voted in office twice, and therefore, we cannot rule out a smaller position."a Walters stated that in response, that his government would be full of people who "never took part in a single administration."a He further went on to say, that having new people was vital for a government without corruption, and pledged to finally introduce election reform, which he stated Ruiz was not doing as it is the reason why Movement has the edge in the election now.a Heffner, on the other hand, stated she would "look into reform, and see what was possible with the respective Senators elected after the election."a In a shock move, Heffner stated that she could admit that, the Ruiz administrations were far from perfect, and that Ruiz's rhetoric was not very uniting, and that as President and Nominee now, she would work harder to unite, while staying to the movement's values."a
A total of 25,103,986 voted, a large decrease from 2123, as a result of voter dissatisfaction.a Following the election, Walters conceded to Heffner and stated that he would not run for President again.a This fueled rumors that Deputy Speaker and Reform running mate Luisa Sandlin would run in 2131.a Sandlin denied these rumors.a Vidal also conceded, having performed better than expected in the popular vote, considered a rebound from Alfaro's result in the speakership election.a
The election marked the Reform Party's best result since Jani Holder's victory in the 2083 election.a Walters stated a greater need for reform as a result of the election and called for the Union Party to support bringing back the Union-Reform leadership election, noting that it's "the best way to represent the current opposition's interests."a Union leader Mariela Vidal resigned after giving the party its worst general election result since Nolan Bedford in 2087, four years before he was elected President and brought the party back to relevance.a Vidal's main primary opponent Arlo Quinn stated that "Union Party's downfall was an expected trend - and it happened because the party establishment did not want to change, despite the Reform Party becoming more and more prominent. I tried to better shape the party one last time, but only 1/4 were interested, and therefore, it appears that the Reform [Party]'s time is coming."a
This marked the first election since the first one 108 years ago in 2019 that the election was decided by the Senate vote.a Additionally, it's the first election ever to elect a Vice President from a different candidate.a This was possible as the Constitution stated that in the event of a Senate vote, while the Presidency would be decided by the newly elected one, the Vice Presidency, would be decided immediately by the current Senate.a As a result of running mate Senator Ezra Keaton's campaign skills, which stunned many, breakaway Senators from numerous parties broke ranks to vote for him.a Another factor in Keaton's election was stated to be both Braxton and Sandlin having only been elected Senators in 2125, whilst Keaton had been a longtime Senator with many allies across the aisle.aaa It marked the first victory for the Union Party since President Nicole Healey's re-election in 2119, 8 years ago, amid the party's downfall to Reform.a
In the aftermath of Braxton's loss, President Ruiz blamed Heffner, stating that if she had kept Vice President Bussey, he would have stood a higher chance to win, and that the 280 electoral threshold would have likely be met, and that the resignation gimmick may have not been such a good option.a Speculation later followed of a potential Keaton candidacy for 2131, however with Reform's ongoing rise, it would not be definite.a
== Candidates ==
=== Movement primaries ===
Former President and longtime former Vice President Jodie Heffner was widely expected to announce her candidacy, being the frontrunner to win the 2127 general election, save a surprise from the Reform Party.a However, Heffner declined to indicate whether or not she would run.a In a similar situation, former Union President Devon Raley's Vice President Nicole Healey declined, leading his former VP to lose against Eula Ruiz.a However, pressure from Ruiz to run today would higher Heffner's chances of running, as a longtime ally.a After long speculation, Heffner announced her campaign, becoming one of the latest campaign launches in union history.a She subsequently filed to run for the Freedom, Progressive, Union and Reform primaries, a shock move making her the first candidate to ever cross-run in all major party primaries.a However, data showed she had no chance to win the Union or Reform primaries, especially the former.a As no other candidates met the entrance criteria, the Movement primaries were cancelled and Heffner was automatically declared the nominee.a Senator Richard Bussey was named as a possible running mate choice.a
Nominee
* Jodie Heffner, 17th President of the Union (2110–11); 22nd Vice President of the Union (2107–10, 2111–15, 2123–27)aaa
Declined
* Richard Bussey, senator; Movement nominee for Speaker in 2125a
Endorsements
=== Union Party primaries ===
Quinn became the first major candidate of any party to announce his candidacy for the 2127 election, which he stated would be "his last."a However, his campaign was not seen as relevant, unless the primary would not be a much contested one.a Despite speculation that she would run, former Speaker Cristine Alfaro later announced that she would not run, notably clearing the field for other names.a Following Alfaro's announcement, Senator Melani Croteau announced her candidacy.a A few weeks later, Senator Ezra Keaton announced his candidacy, who became a bookmaker favorite for the nomination.a Despite this, the first poll saw Quinn winning by a margin of 8%, however pundits stated it was due to the primary season not beginning.a The first non-partisan pollster saw Keaton's numbers improve, with the margin decreasing to 6%.a Perennial candidate Linnie Durran became the next candidate to announce, but her candidacy was not considered relevant.a After speculation, 2023 Union running mate Alisha Weathers declined to run.a Gifford and Royster followed.a Former Secretary of State Mariela Vidal announced her candidacy 16 seconds prior to the deadline, defeating Jodie Heffner's record that had just been broken 16 seconds prior.a After the first debate, Croteau withdrew citing poor performance.a She endorsed Keaton, who was the odds-on frontrunner until Vidal's announcement.a The first poll since Vidal's entrance saw an easy 11-point lead over Quinn, who did not lose much support, unlike Keaton, who's base relied more on the Healey-esque base of the party.a Keaton slightly recovered following Croteau's endorsement.a Quinn later called on Keaton to withdraw and endorse him, stating that he is the "only one capable of defeating Vidal."a In the biggest primary poll, Vidal's lead expanded to 17%, with the race looking seemingly closed.a 
Reform Party nominee and Speaker Erick Walters attempted to enter the primary, but the Union Party Committee disapproved of his candidacy.aa As a result, Walters announced that he would launch a write-in campaign.a Walters in his campaign for the nomination questioned why the Committee approved Heffner's candidacy, but not his.aa The Committee then claimed that "Heffer, as an outside candidate, had seeked approval of her candidacy well in advance, something which the Walters campaign failed to do."a
Ultimately, Vidal won with slightly over 50% of the votes, eliminating the need for a run-off.a Quinn underperformed the polls, just scoring 22% of the votes, which was seen as a 77% victory for the Healey-esque faction of the party.a Quinn then endorsed Erick Walters for President, stating that the "Union Party has become a regime party not open to even, a former Vice President. It's time to give back control to the Reform Party."a In a shock, Movement nominee Jodie Heffner achieved more than 2% of the vote, considered a "gateway to victory".a However, others stated that it was due to Movement supporters joining Union primaries to vote due to lack of Movement.a

=== Other parties ===
New Green Party leader Kacey Chong confirmed that her party would not contest the election, to "ensure that the current government wouldn't be toppled by a right-wing."a On the other hand, the Progressive Party voted to reinitiate primaries, for the first time since 2113.a This move was seen as the "potential beginning of the end of the Movement era."a However, Ruiz stated that "Movement did it once, and can do so again."a
==== Freedom Party primaries ====
With Ruiz having just narrowly defeated her opponents in the last Freedom primary in 2123, it was noted that the next Movement nominee could face a stronger primary challenge.a This was in addition to the Freedom Party achieving its best result since 2109 in the last mid-term election in 2125.a However, Heffner won the primary.a
Potential
* Lecicia Jacobsen, senator; Freedom candidate for President in 2103
* Carley Jacoby, former Secretary of State, Freedom nominee for President in 2103

=== Independents ===
== Opinion polling ==
Notably, all early polls showed a sizeable advantage to former President Jodie Heffner, not losing a single poll thus far.a However, all early polls listed former Speaker Cristine Alfaro as the Union candidate, who was considerably less popular than other potential Union candidates, resulting in all early polls being considerably less accurate.a

== 2129 election ==
=== Primaries ===
The Communist Bloc leader Domenic Seals resigned in 2125 after the party's continuous failures since his leadership began in 2113, which had also occurred in prior leaderships.a Following Seal's resignation, Nanci Baez led the party under interim leadership, which resulted in skipping the 2127 election, and pushing the leadership election till 2129, a move some criticized.a The party last had Senate representation under Annette Haag's leadership in 2097.a Danille Glenn won the leadership election.a Union francaise leader Elodie Delaplace resigned in 2128, after serving as leader for 39 years.a Her resignation was considered a "breaking point" for her party, as it lacked direction without its longtime leader.a Nevertheless, Michelina Prieto won the party's leadership election in the second round with her 51.13%.a Vice President Ezra Keaton won a largely uncontested Union primary.a In a huge upset for Movement, the Progressive Party Committee voted for contesting the election, marking its first ever since 2105.a The Global Union Party followed in its decision to contest, for the first time since 2113.a New Green leader Kacey Chong said she would contest the Progressive nomination.a Leah Danielson, Blood Party leader and former senator from 2091 to 2095, 2101 to 2103, 2105 to 2107, 2109 to 2111 and 2125 to 2127, announced she would resign as leader of the party after leading it since 2093.a This came as the party for the first time ever had triggered a competitive primary with candidates.a The Blood Party Committee would lead the party in the interim.a With all these resignations, and new parties, unknown status regarding Walter's leadership, as well as Movement's downfall, and openness of a race, it was considered the "most exciting and competitive Senate race in a long time."a Marty Hendrix won the Blood primaries in a landslide.a Trenton Lanier won the Global Union primaries, in a low-interest vote.a
High speculation arose on whether Speaker Erick Walters would remain leader of Just and Reform or resign.a Walters confirmed he would remain leader for 2129, stating the need for "leadership with integrity."a When pushed back on his age, he stated "it takes a long time to fight your way in the system, especially without prestige."a Many noted that excitement seen specifically in the 2123 election, where Walters shocked the status quo by bringing the Reform Party back to relevance, had been fading away.a Some stated that Walters was now "standing in the way of the Reform movement."a
==== Freedom primaries ====
Just two candidates, President Jodie Heffner and former senator Lecicia Jacobsen filed to run for the Freedom nomination.a With strict write-in rules for off-election years, these two were the only candidates to receive votes.a In a shock victory, Jacobsen defeated Heffner to become the first Freedom candidate to defeat a Movement candidate in a Freedom primary.a

==== Progressive primaries ====
With the Committee voting in favor of the first contested primaries since 2105, a high fee was put in place to contest leadership, which the PPC ruled was "necessary in times of revival."a New Green leader Kacey Chong and two-time Progressive contester announced her participation, which included a clause that she would disband her party should she win.aa Incumbent President and Movement leader Heffner stated that she would "of course, defend her title."a Due to the high fee, no other candidates announced, citing the high fees being barrier, which helped the established and well-funded candidates.a In a shock victory, Chong was nominated Progressive leader by just 1 delegate, with Heffner's strategy to play as the leader of progressive policies and maintain ground having just failed.a Heffner vowed to "fight like hell" in 2131.a However, analysts suggested that after the party took power back from Movement, it was highly unlikely to go back, especially with increased turnouts from the Progressive-branch of the party, though a higher Movement turnout was also possible due to election year.a Chong claimed victory and stated "we finally have taken back our party, to show who really is the progressive party. Let's win this!"a Afterwards, the New Green Party was delisted as a party, and Chong invited party officials and former Senators to join the new broad coalition of Progressives.aa

=== General election ===
The mid-term saw a huge decrease in voter turnout.a It marked one of the biggest landslides for opposition parties in a mid-term election.a In a shock, the election marked the Blood Party's best showing since the 2085 mid-term, and equaling the highest amount of seats the party obtained.a Party leader Marty Hendrix declared victory, stating "the party under my leadership is just getting started."a Additionally, the Independence Party saw a complete collapse of its power from 2125, a result of the previous advertising group completely dropping its funding of the party.a The Progressive Party, while having its best result since 2097, was below expectations and followed the trend of New Green's decrease in votes.a With Delaplace having resigned after leading the party for decades, Union francaise failed to make the threshold, but Prieto stated it was a success for the first election under the new direction of the party.a Shockingly, the election marked the fifth consecutive where the Union Party amassed the most seats and lead the popular vote.a However, Walters again refuted the claim, noting that Reform and Just held 3 more seats than Union.a Notably, the two parties had held 9 seats more in 2125, showing a downspiral effect of Walters' influence.a Should an impeachment inquiry be launched against Jodie Heffner, the conservative bloc would have 71 senators and would just require 8 breakaways from either Freedom, Movement, Progressive and the 2 non-conservative Independents.a However, it was noted due to the nature that Heffner's government was properly run, that the opposition would not try to impeach, given the electoral impact it would have in 2131.a
The Movement faced a historic loss resulting in the party's least amount of seats since its founding in addition to the biggest loss from an incumbent governing party.a
With the new law, speakership elections were now held every 4 years, meaning that every mid-term election would now have stakes.a Union Party leader Ezra Keaton announced that he would not contest the speakership election, clearing the field for other candidates.a Senator Alisha Weathers won the nomination.a Freedom leader Jacobsen won nomination.a
15,613,092 voted in the speakership election, a considerably low number.a As Reform leader and incumbent speaker Erick Walters won over 50% of the votes, there was no second round.a The Union Party's performance was a historic low for the party, and significantly lower than the 24% from the mid-terms, which was considered to be due to Weather's poor performance, and with the Union Party gaining popularity from Keaton's leadership, which was not existent in Weather's campaign.a Walters claimed victory and stated "the Reform Party is on a course to victory, among more victories."a

=== Supreme Court election ===
In 2091, newly-elected Union President Nolan Bedford announced the creation of the Supreme Union Court, which would be necessary for approval of big changes; it was followed by an election to determine the twelve judges.a As the judges were given lifetime appointment, the same 12 had remained, as the parties tactically chose young judges.a However, in 2129, a Union judge announced his retirement, resulting in an election being called for his replacement.a Union francaise leader Michelina Prieto announced that her party would not contest the election, citing the need to prevent taking votes from other left-wing parties.a Speaker Erick Walters announced that Just would not contest, instead endorsing the more prevalent Reform.a Global Union leader Trenton Lanier announced that his party would not contest, citing the party's newly-reestablished status as not having the infrastructure in place to contest the election.a The Independence launched a campaign citing the party's status as an independent entity, and stated that no other party had such ideals.a The Reform Party won the election in a landslide, coming from the upward trend the party had since Walters was elected leader of the party.a This resulted in Union losing its 58% majority, to now only consisting of 50%, meaning it needed the newly-elected Reform judge to pass votes, or otherwise from an unlikely Progressive judge.a In a shock, the election resulted in the [[CCU|Blood Party]'s best performance in any election ever, gaining 1% from the mid-term.a Leader Marty Hendrix stated "the people are starting to get sick of the status quo, and are ready for real change."a Right-wing parties received 60.1% of the votes, whilst left-wing received just 26.6%, considered a real aftermath of two consecuctive Movement governments; the Independence which did not fit either categories meanwhile took 13.3%.a
Following the election, the Freedom and Progressive parties cited the need for a supreme court party primary, following both parties failure to even reach the top four.aa

== 2131 election ==
The CCU presidential election of 2131 will be the next quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on March 18, 2131. This follows Movement President Heffner's four-year term from 2127 to 2131, having been the second President elected by a contingent vote.
With Speaker Walters not seeking nomination, it was considered a slight advantage to Vice President Keaton, being the only opposition candidate with a major office.a
After Jodie Heffner was nominated by the Movement, she announced that she would leave the party and change her affiliation to Independent, citing the increasing partisanship and stated that "I have slowly been distancing myself from [Movement], but I need to act more. I don't believe there is a better way to unify our Union."aaa However, some opposition critics stated it was another tactic used, especially amid the party's fall from grace in the previous two elections.aa The Independence Party stated that with Heffner identifying herself as an Independent, she should "attempt to do more beneficial policies to help the Union."a Boyce, a Reform Senator, announced that she had been disaffected by the Walters takeover of the Reform Party, and would now switch her affiliation to Independent.a
In a shock move, Heffner chose Reform primary runner-up Allie Boyce as her running mate, noting her "natural talent as something to unite the Union."a Boyce served as the Reform nominee for Vice President in 2107, and ran for the Reform nomination in 2091 and 2107, having before served as a consultant to former Senator Ayanna Geary.a Sandlin criticized the move, calling her a "long time politician."a
Ultimately, Union nominee Ezra Keaton won the election via contingency with Heffner's running mate Allie Boyce.aa The next day, Walters announced his resignation as Speaker of the Union and as senator, stating that he "is looking forward to the next generation of Reformers."a This made Deputy Speaker Luisia Sandlin the 8th Speaker.aa Speculation also arose over the 2135 election, and the fight between former Reform Senator Allie Boyce and Speaker Luisia Sandlin, whether Boyce would run, stay Independent, or attempt again to contest the Reform nomination.a

=== General election ===
In a shock victory, former Movement President Sofía Ruiz won over incumbent Reform Speaker Luisa Sandlin, widely due to a low overall turnout and higher turnout from Movement voters.a Making it more controversial, Ruiz's victory put her party under control of the speakership considerably without chance of passing the party's agenda.a With Ruiz already being the longest-serving Speaker, it would increase her length to 14 years should she serve the entire term.a Ruiz appointed former Vice President Richard Bussey as her Deputy Speaker as her first move in office.a Outgoing Speaker Sandlin stated, "When the bill was first drafted, no one thought a scenario where a Speaker that has no path to a majority could win, but apparently we were wrong. With this election, it's time to reform the system - yes, again - we will need to figure out which will work best first."a Ruiz condemned Sandlin's comments, stating "the appointee just got kicked out by [we] the voters, and now she wants to change the rules of the game so she can get elected again. That's why we're here, to out the fraud "reform" so that our Movement results in real change."aa Nevertheless, Ruiz resigned as Speaker 1 year into the position, stating that her Speakership was "transitional" and aimed to restore the Movement's ideals.a As a result, former Vice President Richard Bussey succeeded her, and the move was seen as a way for Ruiz to strengthen a potential Bussey campaign.a

== 2135 election ==
The CCU presidential election of 2135 will be the next quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on March 19, 2135. This follows Union President Keaton's four-year term from 2131 to 2135, having been the third President elected by a contingent vote and second consecutively.
The election delivered the Reform Party its first victory since 2083 (52 years) and resulted in Erick Walters being elected President after the longest political career in Union history and became the oldest President in Union history, defeating Eula Ruiz's record.a It also marked a significant loss for the Union Party, which lost all its seats and did not gain a single electoral vote despite being the incumbent party.a This was seen as a protest against the status quo election system, something which Walters vowed to change.a Also hurting Keaton's campaign was the failure to unite forces with either Independent Boyce and/or Heffner, an unconventional but some stated "would have made the race more competitive."a Boyce and Jacobsen had at points of the campaign had more competitive polling numbers, but both dropped as the election neared.a This was especially true for Bussey's failing campaign, which some stated was the "passing of the torch from Movement" for the left-politics in the Union.a

In a last minute announcement, former President Jodie Heffner announced that, with the openness of the race, she would drop her name in the race.a This shocked the state of the race, and led to Movement nominee Richard Bussey to condemn her candidacy, stating that "you weakened [Movement] and dropped my inevitable running mate candidacy then, and now you are back to sabotage us again."a In response, Heffner stated she was "not in the race to play partisan games, she was in it for the people of the Union."a Heffner's last minute candidacy resulted in this election being, by far, the most contested in the history of the Union with absolutely no clear winner and as a result being likely to cause a contested Senate.a This meant that the campaign focus was largely based on nominees winning the most states possible, meaning smaller states would see much more campaigning than usual.a

The speakership election saw former Speaker Luisia Sandlin win against 2135 Independent running mate Hal Hammonds. Hammonds unexpected strong performance in the second round was attributed to his charismatic campaign skills as opposed to Sandlin's established and previously failed campaign skills.a Sandlin declared victory and stated "this is the beginning of a story that should have happened so long ago. The Reform agenda will finally be completed!"a
Reform Party primaries 
Despite being a vice presidential nominee, presidential nominee, and a former Speaker, Sandlin only managed to win by 54%, due to her loss to former President Ruiz in the previous Speaker election.a However, a divided opposition led Sandlin to win without the need of a second round, which was not expected to rule in her favor.a Her nomination led to the closer-than-expected second round in the general election, which could've costed the Speakership again.a Walters had refused to endorse any candidate before, stating he "wanted the process to play itself out" and endorsed Sandlin after she won the primary.a

=== Supreme court election ===
In addition to the mid-term and Speakership elections, there were vacancies in the Supreme Court as a result of a Union judge death, as well as the retirement of a Progressive and Union judge. With 3 vacancies at once, it was the biggest Court opening since the first election in 2091.a Additionally, it was only the second election in which multiple members would be elected to the court.a
Union francaise leader Michelina Prieto first ruled out her party's participation, instead opting to endorse the Progressives.a On the other hand, Global Union leader Trenton Lanier confirmed his party's participation as opposed to its non-participation in 2129.a Socialist Group leader Danille Glenn confirmed her party would contest.a After the 2129 regret, Freedom, Progressive and at the last moment, Movement agreed to a Supreme Court primary, in which Progressive won.a Lecicia Jacobsen then endorsed the Progressives, saying "we must let the left have real representation in the Court."a Bussey congratulated Progressives, but stopped short of an endorsement, drawing controversy.a
Reform won 2 seats, while Progressive won 1. As a result of the Freedom-Progressive-Movement primary, Progressives were able to narrowly defeat Independence to retain its seat count of 5. While this meant the right-wing court would retain its 7 seat majority, it lowered Union's seats to 4, with Reform just 1 away from surpassing.a Progressives' retaining of their seat meant that the party now led the court with most members, 5, 1 ahead of Union.a However, most noted that the likelihood of a Progressive-Reform court was "improbable" as Progressives would call the shots due to their easy advantage in seats, which meant a weakened Union would still lead decisions in a more balanced Union-Reform court.a A poll found that majority of voters agreed with the court being Union-Reform controlled.a
After Independence's narrow losses in the Speakership and supreme court elections, many supporters of the Independent movement were disheartened.a However, top Independent Hammonds stated that "We are just now beginning to reach new highs. I do not think this is the end of the movement for more independence. It's just beginning!"a

2138 saw another vacancy in the Supreme Court as a result of a Progressive judge death.a Communist Bloc leader Danika Radenour announced that the party would not contest amid budget cuts.a Movement leader Richard Bussey announced that after participating in the leadership race last round, that would not occur again.a This move was seen as pandering to the Movement voters amid Bussey's potential 2139 presidential campaign.a Nevertheless, Freedom and Progressive cooperated in a leadership election.a Danille Glenn announced that her party would contest with its new name Socialist, aiming to become a major left-wing party.a In a low turnout election, it saw a major loss for the left-wing faction with Progressives now only holding 1/3 of the court, and Reform now equaling Union.a Walters stated "the era for [Union] to lead us on right-wing [Court] policy has come to an end. Both parties should now have an equal say."a That immediately marked a rule out of a Reform-Progressive Court, with it being too vast in policy.a

== 2139 election ==
The CCU presidential election of 2139 will be the next quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on March 19, 2139. This follows Reform President Walters' four-year term from 2135 to 2139, having been the first Reform President elected in decades.
Reform Vice President Curtin won the election with a majority of electoral votes, breaking the consecutive two-election presidential wins without electoral college.a However, Reform failed to win a majority of delegates independently, but would be able to govern with the support of the 4 Union Senators.a
Movement nominee Bussey failed to expand on his performance from four years prior, receiving 24% fewer votes despite Movement's leadership election victory giving him an all-out left-wing party coalition.a It was considered to be the end of the Movement, with many blaming Bussey for Hammonds' failure to win the election.a
Bussey later conceded and took blame for the underperformance of both Movement and the larger left-wing coalition, stating his career is "effectively over."a His tactic four years ago of blaming Independent Heffner for his worse result was no longer a possibility as Independent Hammonds was never a member of Movement.a
Union's performance was extensively improved from the previous election, despite no longer being in second place in the popular vote.a
The election saw a depressed turnout with the lack of Freedom or Progressive on the ballot.a A total of 25,903,187 voted.a
=== General election polling ===
The first general election poll of the season saw Reform take a remarkable 15% lead over its greatest opponent, Independent Hammonds.a Despite this, it predicted a change of voting habits compared to previous general elections - openness to vote for more parties as a result of Walters' successful electoral reform changes.a

== 2140 elections ==
=== Supreme court election ===
2140 saw the return of a supreme court election with the death of a Union judge, who had been seen as the "kingmaker" of the court.a That was considered to be the turning point of the Supreme Court which ended the first Court.a In solidarity, the 3 other Union judges, all old in age, announced their retirement.a The 3 remaining original Progressive judges also announced their retirement, stating "it's time to usher in a new era of our Court, and with all the changes in the Court, we believe it is in the best interest of the Court for us to gracefully retire."a This made the election have 7 seats in play, the most competitive Court election since the first.a A much higher turnout was expected compared to previous Court elections in which less seats were in play.a
Global Union leader Trenton Lanier announced that his party would not contest the election, citing the importance of the result.a Movement, now leaderless and run by its Committee, confirmed that it would take part in the leadership election, running on the policies of the movement without any leader in particular campaigning.a Freedom and Progressive would also take part in the leadership election.a Notably, former leader Marla Conger heavily campaigned for the Progressive Party, which had before strengthened the party under her leadership.a The Progressives handily won the leadership race, with both Freedom and Movement been led by acting leaderships.a
Notably, the Progressive Party won the election, shocking the status quo right-wing rule and victories and making the party established as the new leader of the left wing politics in the Union.a In a shock, Union overtook Reform as Union voting excitement increased with Daniela Cheng as leader of the party bringing the party back to its populist right-wing roots, while Reform voter turnout was low as leader and President Curtin failed to bring his voters to the ballot box, something which Speaker Sandlin could have possibly done better with her populist politics.a While some stated it may be a sign of a Reform defeat in 2141 and 2143, it was not considered a sure thing as Reform voter turnout would be certainly higher in these elections, especially 2143.a
As a result of the election, a new era of the Court was ushered which was led by Reform for the first time ever, in spite of the failure to win any seats in the election.a Additionally, the election was a net positive of 1 for the left-wing faction solely represented by the Progressive Party.a With all original Supreme Court seats replaced from 2129, it would make another Court election unlikely to occur in the near future unless the Court were to be expanded.a However, an expansion of the Court would require 2/3 votes in the Senate, the Speakership and the Presidency to all be in favor of such move, which would be very unlikely.a

== 2141 election ==
=== General election ===
Progressive Senator Marla Conger won the Speakership in the biggest majority victory without needing a second round.a However, Speaker-elect Conger will have to work with a majority government-supporting right-wing faction of 61 seats.a Some Independents would also potentially support government-supported bills.a
Notably, 6 opposition parties and 3 government supporting parties were elected, showing the fraction of the left-wing opposition.a
Incumbent Reform Speaker Luisa Sandlin's performance in the Speakership election marks the worst ever for a sitting Speaker.a After losing the election, Sandlin conceded to Conger and proceeded to announce her resignation of her Senate seat and retirement from Union politics.a As such, a Special election was called for her seat.a The election was later won by the Progressives, which thus lowered the government coalition's majority to 1 seat.a

== 2143 election ==
The CCU presidential election of 2143 will be the next quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on March 20, 2143. This follows Reform President Curtin's four-year term from 2139 to present, having been the first Reform President elected in decades.
Progressive Speaker Marla Conger won the election, marking the party's first ever victory as well as the first for the left-wing opposition since 2131 and the left's first Movement-less victory since 2107 or 2087.a However, as the Reform change to remove Deputy Speaker as a position of succession meant that the Progressives would lose control of the Speakership as the right had 60 seats whilst the left had 58, and the right's seat count would only increase to 64 after inauguration which meant that there was no pathway for a Progressive-controlled Speakership.a As a result, Conger resigned as Speaker immediately rather than when taking office as President, given the more narrow majority of 1 seat.a It marked a special Speaker election, which meant the Senate would vote instead of the electorate, marking the first Senate-voted speakership election since 2125.a

=== Reform Party primaries ===
Incumbent Reform President Phillis Curtin handily won re-nomination against far-right perennial challenger Jenelle Turnbull.a Turnbull's campaign had been supported by a chunk of supporters of former Speaker Sandlin, who, in their words, had been disappointed with Curtin shifting the party towards a more pragmatic big tent catch-all ideology.a Turnbull had polled as high as 12% in Reform nomination polls.a No other candidates filed for the nomination as were lacking in funds and signatures to make the ballot, with questions arising over how Turnbull made it despite having always failed in prior campaigns.a
After losing the nomination, Turnbull announced the creation of a new party, Liberal Reform.a However, the party could not contest the 2143 election as the filing deadline had already passed, which led Turnbull to announce a write-in campaign bid for President.a Nevertheless, her candidacy was unlikely to impact the race with most of Turnbull's supporters voting for Curtin and a minority for Cheng according to polls.a

=== General election ===
The Progressives won the Speakership election after losing the speakership after winning the presidency, and also received a majority mandate with enough Independent Independence backers.a This meant the party could finally govern with a Senate mandate and adopt its new laws, which significantly increased the odds of a Progressive victory in 2147, despite Union showing a greater consolidation of the right-wing opposition.a Pundits noted that only a merger or leadership election of Union and Reform could have a fighting chance to defeat the popular Conger in 2147, but "at this point, even that would not as Progressives could achieve a historic majority popular vote victory, evidently seen from Nava's record Speakership victory.a

=== Freedom Party primaries ===
Incumbent Freedom leader Claris Moriarty announced that she would not contest the Freedom nomination after serving as Freedom leader for 8 years.a Her announcement was preceded by Freedom's declined mid-term election results and more contested primaries, and two poor performances in leadership elections compared to former leader Marcelle Sauer's narrow loss in 2139 to Movement.a This led to a contested primary with former Senators Renteria, Mullen and Albrecht announcing as well as 2145 candidate for Senator Griggs and businessman Milburn.a Moriarty stated that after serving 8 years, she was done her Union career, and as such, would not be endorsing any candidate.a After being asked, incumbent Vice President Jonelle Wilks, who had infamously switched parties in 2143 to Progressive and was elected as Vice President, said she would "definitely not run in the Freedom primary, even if a fight was shaping in the Progressive."a She also endorsed Mullen, stating "I think she's the best candidate out of the lot, fighting for what I was fighting for when I tried to become their leader. Good luck..."a Despite being speculated to run, former Senator and candidate for President Dorcas King declined to and endorsed Renteria.a
During the primary, Albrecht withdrew after failing to win a single contest, which resulted in only 10 delegates despite 11% popular vote as a result of primary format changes.a
The primary marked the first since 2103 to have a contested convention, as no candidate could gain a majority of the delegates.a

=== Progressive Party primaries ===
After two terms of incumbent Progressive President Marla Conger, this was considered the most high-stakes primary in the 2151 election season.a Incumbent Progressive Vice President Jonelle Wilks had seemed to be the presumptive nominee for years, but Nava's ability to win by 53% in her first speakership election and narrowly defeating Cheng in her second despite all polls predicting otherise, had made the primary more competitive than expected with Nava gaining momentum the closer to the primary.a Nava was the first to announce her campaign, followed by Wilks.a Two-time presidential candidate and a architect of the modern Progressive Party, Senator Launa Sanchez announced that she would not run, stating "two times was enough. I will be happy to support our nominee get to the finish line again."a Wilks won the primary by a very narrow margin, after which Nava conceded and pledged to support Wilks in the general election.a The primary had the highest turnout in the history of the Progressive Party.a It was compared to the Reform primary of 2139, in which incumbent Vice President Curtin defeated incumbent Speaker Sandlin.a
Nava was not chosen as the running mate, which was speculated to be due to her remaining Speaker being vital for the Progressives to retain the Speakership.a

Freedom received its most seats since 2133 in its first mid-term election showing with Jeannine Renteria as party leader.a After former Reform Vice President Cordelia Perron won the Speakership, 3 Independents appeared to align with Perron, giving her a working majority and allowing the Union Cheng administration to retain its majority.a The election also notably weakened Wilks' status as leader of the Progressive Party following its seat and Speakership losses.a Nevertheless, Wilks announced her candidacy for the 2157 Progressive nomination as the incumbent leader of the party.a

== 2155 election ==
The CCU presidential election of 2155 will be the next quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on March 20, 2155. This follows Progressive President Cheng's four-year term from 2151 to present.
Incumbent Union President Daniela Cheng won reelection with a larger electoral vote of 355, though lowering its percentage share by 1.2 points as a result of the reemergence of the Freedom Party in the presidential election for the first time since 2131.a It marked Freedom Party's first showing in 20 years, but nominee Renteria failed to gain any electoral votes.a Nava conceded the election but stated "we've been robbed from victory thanks to the status quo system. The Court also failed us by allowing the vote to be split."a Renteria clapped back, stating "Clearly, there is a chunk of voters on the left that prefer our policies, otherwise [Freedom] wouldn't have performed as high as it did."a Renteria declared victory after the result, stating "This proves that [Freedom's] decision in the past to participate in leadership elections only brought the party down, we will bee looking forward to the midterms!"a The result also was considered controversial for incumbent Reform Speaker Perron, who many Reform members blamed for [Union's] supermajority as a result of her decision to not contest the general election.a Perron stated "we would have handed the election into [Nava's] hands had we contested, that would prove much worse for [Reform] in the longer run with potential policies."a
With Nava performing much worse than Wilks in 2151, a potential third primary showoff between Nava and Wilks would be looming in 2157 and/or 2159.a Nava confirmed her intention to stay as Progressive leader, stating "the fight will go on."a Wilks did not comment on a potential primary run, stating that the immediate focus would be to defend Progressive's stances in the Opposition.a Some pundits stated that Wilks' best attack could be in a 2157 primary, noting that Nava would still be weak from the presidential result.a

=== Joint Freedom-Progressive leadership election ===
After incumbent Movement leader Gabriel Christiansen won, he reiterated his campaign stance to not contest the leadership election and rather the general election.a Both parties condemned Christiansen's stance, stating that "the Progressive Party's impressive streak of victories had occurred under the unified front from the left-wing parties, and that Movement's decision would only help [Cheng]."a Freedom Party increased its showing by 10 points compared to Progressives' 13 point increase.a Renteria announced her intention to step down as Freedom Party leader after the loss.a However, days later Renteria backtracked her resignation and announced that she would in fact contest the general election despite losing the leadership election.a Nava condemned Renteria, calling it a "dangerous precedent" and would bring the case to the Union Supreme Court.a In a 9-3 ruling, with all 4 Reform judges, 3 Union judges and 2 of 5 Progressive judges voting to not recognize leadership elections as legally binding, Nava and the Progressive Party lost the Court case.a Judges noted, "Leadership elections are not run by the Union, and therefore the result cannot be enforced without giving precedent to non-Union ran elections."a Speaker Perron, however, stated she "would not seek the general election, respecting the Union-Reform agreement precedent."a After the Court ruling, Nava stated she was disappointed but, would carry the fight on to the general election.a Nava also vowed as one of her campaign platforms to pass electoral reform laws, noting that "while Reform's laws were better than nothing, was not enough as it has never affected any election since."a

== 2153 election ==
=== General election ===
In a historic elimination, Progressives under Wilks' new leadership narrowly lost qualification to the Speakership election to Renteria's Freedom Party.a Renteria won the Speakership election to become the first ever Freedom Speaker in Union history.a This followed Freedom's momentum from the 2155 election, in which Renteria became the first Freedom nominee to contest the presidential election in decades.a
Following the election, Wilks announced her resignation as leader of the Progressive Party, acknowledging that her leadership was not affective.a However, some blamed Nava for having Gerber as her running mate, who gained popularity for her status and led Union francaise to its best result in history.a Gerber's result is what pundits suggested took votes from Progressives, leading to Renteria's qualification to the speaker election.a However, Cheng's government enjoyed a safe majority despite losing the Speakership election, leading Speaker-elect to govern as a minority Speaker.a

==== Progressive Party primary ====
Incumbent party leader Elodia Nava had confirmed her intention to remain as party leader onwards after her loss in the 2155 election.a Her running mate, Union francaise leader Leda Gerber endorsed her afterwards.a Nava, thought to be uncontested for party leadership, had only minor candidates announce a run against her leadership.a However, former leader Jonelle Wilks announced her bid in a last-minute file deadline surprise.a
On primary day, it appeared that there would be no outright victory for any candidate, marking the first time since the party's primary change to remove delegates starting 2139 and first primary to not win a candidate since 2099, in which a contested convention was initiated.a Senator Mahoney conceded and endorsed former party Wilks whilst former Senator Flaneery endorsed incumbent party leader Nava.a The primary oversaw the division of the party's left wing and centre-left to centre wings, a tradition carried from the merger of traditional party For the People.a
Former Vice President and former party leader Jonelle Wilks won the primary by 0.2 points and just 2,577 votes of 981,275 cast.a Afterwards, incumbent leader Elodia Nava conceded and wished Wilks "luck" in the upcoming elections, giving her full support to Wilks.a Wilks victory was seen as a result of Nava's landslide loss just 2 years ago to incumbent Union President Cheng, and the primary having a lower turnout compared to presidential election years, though the primary having double the turnout compared to the previous midterms in 2153 as a result of the competitive primary.a
After the results were finalized, the percentages were revealed to be the exact as 2151 Progressive primaries 6 years ago, when rounded to two decimal points.a This led to accusations of fraud from [PPC] and [Wilks], with some stated that the Progressive establishment in the Committee was out to get the "anti-establishment leader Nava" to force "establishment" Wilks back in power.a Both Nava and Wilks denounced these claims, stating that "no one can weaken our true Progressive big tent party, whether it's from disinformation or targeted campaigns against our primaries."a Most pundits agreed that Wilks' overperformance came from the primary being held in a mid-term year, with Nava's voting coalition bloc being more prominent in 2159.a However, many of Wilks' supporters would also vote in a presidential year.a
