==New Electoral system==
After the voters voted in the 2020 Referendum on the mode of representation, ministers will be directly elected by citizens of WolvHaven. Directly-elected Ministers will be elected using the alternative voting system (AV) whereas the general Members of Parliament will be elected using the single transferrable voting system (STV). 
===Directly-elected Ministers===
The directly-elected Ministers elections use the alternative voting system where voters rank all candidates in order of preference. If a candidate receive more than 50% of the total vote, the candidate is elected. If no candidate receive more than 50% of the total vote, the candidate with the lowest number of vote and the vote will be redistributed to the remaining candidates. This process repeats until a candidate receive more than 50% of the total vote.
===General MPs===
The general MPs use the single transferrable Vote. If a candidate receive the number of vote which surpass a quota, where the quota is given by this formula:
Total Votes ÷ (Total Seats + 1) + 1
Candidates who surpass the quota is elected. If there are seats remaining to fill in, the votes voted for the elected candidates are redistributed to the other candidates until all seats are filled.
