1999 Chawosaurian elections

The **1999 Chawosaurian elections** were two elections held on December 31, 1999. These were the very last Chawosaurian elections in the 20th century and the 2nd millennium. These are also the last elections held prior to the September 11 Attacks and the subsequent War on Terror. The Chawallian Communist Party retained unified control of the Chawosaurian Imperial Government by easily expanding their supermajority control of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace in the 1999 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

In the 1999 Chawosaurian legislative elections, the Chawallian Communist Party led by incoming Prime Minister Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII easily retained control of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace, riding on a gain of 43 seats in the Chawopolis Palace, holding a supermajority that was formed in 1979, and thereby consequently, ensuring that the Communist Party will hold unified control of government, controlling the monarchy through Timothy Max Roosevelt, the prime ministership through Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII, and the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace through a Communist Party supermajority. In the popular vote, the Communist Party won 83% of the popular vote, a gain in their vote share from 1995 by 20 percentage points. The Social Democratic Labour Party led by opposition leader George Windsor was left with nothing, no power at all in the Chawopolis Palace, the monarchy nor the prime ministership, thus remaining the opposition party and the minority party of Chawosauria.

In the 1999-2000 Chawosaurian presidential election, Chawosaurian President Wawetseka Sequoia Eluwilussit Montgomery narrowly won reelection to a fourth term, defeating her husband who was a Republican nominee, Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VI, in the popular vote after a deadlock tie in the United States electoral college. Making this election the most dramatic of the whole 1999 election cycle, and to many Chawosaurians, the most entertaining. President Montgomery won her last reelection by a comfortable landslide in 1996, and then faced an awkward reelection in 1999 between herself and her husband. Montgomery won reelection in the popular vote, carrying 50.1% to her husband's 49.9% of the vote there despite losing a majority of states.

Overall, this is an election in which the status quo was maintained. The Communist Party easily holds control of the Chawopolis Palace while the U.S. Democratic Party narrowly holds control of the Comrade Presidency.

## Background

Before 2023, elections were only precedent, not mandated by law.

## Campaign

The 1999 Chawosaurian legislative elections were mostly uneventful, but the Chawallian Communist Party was smoothly reelected with 43 new seats added to their supermajority in the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace.

The 1999-2000 Chawosaurian presidential election was extremely eventful, President Wawetseka Sequoia MacKenzie, after winning three of her elections and served three of her terms, is running for a fourth term, but her husband, Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VI, made the race extremely wackier by literally running against his own wife, setting an awkward presidential election campaign.
