2022 Maronan regional election in Jalotte

The **2022 Maronan regional election in Jalotte** was held on 11 June 2022, to elect the 24 members of the General Council in the overseas region of Jalotte. The election coincided with the Jahorian municipal elections, in addition to regional, departmental, and municipal elections nationwide.

## Date

According to the Constitution of Marone, regional elections are to be held the second Saturday of June, every six years in each of the regions of Marone. Regional elections are also to be held concurrently with departmental and municipal elections.

In case of a regional, departmental, or municipal government collapsing, a snap election may be called by the prefect which presides over the jurisdiction, at the request of the president of the regional, departmental, or municipal council. Snap elections do not impact the date of the next regularly scheduled election.

## Electoral system

Maronan regional elections in overseas Marone use a proportional representation system using at-large electoral lists. Within each list, candidates are ranked from first to twenty-fourth, although parties are not obligated to create a complete list, and may have less candidates than there are available seats. Regional elections utilize a closed-list system, so voters cannot alter party lists, and the candidates at the start of each list are highly likely to win seats in the election, regardless of whether their party wins the election. Independent candidates are also permitted to stand, and may be included on the list of a political party, or be entirely independent from any political parties as well.

Each voter selects one list to cast their ballot for. Following the conclusion of voting, seats are allocated to each alliance according to the Sainte-Laguë method of proportional representation. There is a 5% electoral threshold.

### Eligibility

All Maronan citizens aged 18 or older on the date of the election who registered their primary residence in Jalotte were eligible to both stand in the election as a candidate, and vote in the election. As voting by mail is not permitted in Marone, individuals who were not going to be in their designated electoral district on the date of the election had the option to vote early, with early voting beginning on 28 May 2022.
