2nd Play Election

The card declaring Kay the winner of the state of Uptown, making him officially the winner of the Play Election.

### Winner

Kay10panda

The Second Play Election took place in the summer of 2020, with the People's Party nominee Kay10panda winning the election by a close margin against the Liberty Party nominee Lord Asker and the Grill Party nominee Ironyx. The prize of the election was the winner having his own channel in the Discord server for 24 hours. The channel was dedicated to unfinished builds.

## System

The election used an odd system for counting the results and voting, somewhat similar to the one of the United States of America. Everyone was assigned a state in which they would eventually cast their vote in the primary and general election. Each state's result would be made up of the voters and their votes in the state. The winner of the most states won the respective primary election and general election. Each state had 1 vote, given to the winner of the state's popular vote. Voting was done in a first-past-the-post system.

## Primaries

In the primary election, there were 2 parties under which people could try to compete for the nomination. There was also the option of trying to win the third party primary, where every person could run under their own party, but only one third party would prevail and be an option for the general election.

The 2 main parties were the People's Party of Syberia and the Syberian Liberty Party. People running for the nomination of the People's Party of Syberia were Pomik108, Kay10panda and Pescavelho. People running for the nomination of the Syberian Liberty Party were Inspector Cake, KoopaOxid, Ironyx and Lord Asker. The volunteered Third Parties competing were the Grill Party (which was formed after Project's Kiwi Party, Ironyx's Cool Party and Cult's Racoon Party merged to improve their chances of winning) and the NOKIA Party, led by Lord Asker.

There were 2 debates separately for the main parties, and a forum for each of the small party candidates.

### Results

People's Party ended up running Kay10panda, the Liberty Party voted for Kay with a plurality and the previously-merged-into Grill Party won the Third Party nomination. That narrowed the race down to 3 candidates.

Despite being tied with Lord Asker in the popular vote, Kay won 1 state more than Lord Asker, putting him on top as the winner of the Play Election. The race was closer than anticipated and nobody scored a plurality of the vote, as Ironyx and the Grill Party left a pretty big dent in the final results. In the end, Lord Asker refused to concede, but that was irrelevant as Kay had been declared the official victor and granted his prize of having a channel for 24 hours.
