34th Adorian Presidential Election

←33rd - 27th June 2022 - 35th→

## Electoral System

The President of Adoria is directly elected using a two-round system for a four-week term, with a two-term consecutivity limit.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution, the president must be elected by an absolute majority of valid votes. If no candidate succeeds in passing this threshold in the first round, a second round of voting is held with the two candidates who received the largest shares of the vote.

In order to be registered to contest the election, a candidate must be an Adorian citizen for at least 3 weeks, and have collected at least 10 voters' signatures.

## Nominations

Incumbent President King Adoria would run for re-election this time however with AFP Co-leader Big Ben as his running mate. This would easily secure endorsement from the AFP and KAB while the LD on the other hand would choose to endorse no candidate on account of Big Ben's politics.

CSM Leader Carlos Montiel would run for President with UWF Deputy MarcZucc. They would bag in the endorsements of the CSM and UWF. They would campaign on a platform of opposing military intervention in the Adorian Situation Uprisings while also dissenting on the choice of a profit-oriented libertarian such as Big Ben being Second in line.

In the meantime the SDP, LD, and LNP would choose to not endorse any candidate for the first round. On election day Kortographer/RookWilt and Shuzi/Seafox would emerge as surprise tickets. Kor would spread lies of being endorsed by the SDP and LD and Rook had not spoken for 3 weeks at the time. Shuzi and Seafox would be a splinter KAB ticket considered to be a semi-meme ticket due to their immense inactivity and disinterest in even winning.

In the runoff SDP would take the extreme decision to endorse the conservative CSM's Carlos/Marc ticket being driven to the choice due the fear of an incompetent libertarian possibly being VP. ANP would choose to endorse KA/Ben for the runoff while LD remained neutral but generally leaned towards the KA campaign. Shuzi would publicly endorse King Adoria while Kor would privately endorse Carlos Montiel.

King Adoria's first term had been received highly positively especially in leadership throughout the uprisings but would face criticism in having Big Ben as his VP who was widely considered to be incompetent and inactive hurting his campaign. Carlos would be regarded a deeply inactive candidate who had done nothing with the CSM during the 78th term.

## Results

The 34th Presidential election would be held on June 27th 2022 concurrent with the 79th general election. After the first round ended the next day it would only take a shocking 19 minutes for results to be announced. Unexpectedly a runoff would be required for the first time in 7 months since the 28th presidential election. King Adoria and Carlos Montiel would advance to the runoff scheduled for the next day.

Round 2 would go live on June 29th 2022 however election manager Jose was so inactive he was unable to close the ballot until after 48 hours. Votes after the 24-hour mark would be deleted. 29 hours after runoff voting ended results would be announced on July 2nd 2022 to a KA landslide. This would be one of the longest wait times for a non-simulated election. This would make King Adoria the first person to be elected President three times. Turnout for the rounds would be **18.24%** and **15.78%** respectively.
