December 2021 Presidential Election

The December 2021 Presidential Election occurred on December 1, 2021. Incumbent Presidential Connor declined to run for reelection, stating that he had enough time as President and it carried too many responsibilities. Sherbet Sherwin defeated several candidates, most prominently American2006 and CheesyDolphins, the later in a runoff by 6% (1 vote). The runoff marked the highest turnout election in the history of the Federation of the Internet, with a record 15 votes breaking the previous record of 9 set in the June 2021 Presidential Election. This was the third consecutive election in which the major candidates where all from the same state, and first where the top three candidates all recieved votes and where from the same state. This was also the first electino where a Baybridgian was elected, making Baybridge the last state to elect a President.

## Background

In the past two elections Presidential Connor won both by squeakers. In the October 2021 Parliamentary Election the Parliament control was tied, and many New Moderate's were worried that they might lose parliament. And with Connor's approval rating most of the time not hitting 50%, it seemed like the NMs where doomed this election. Although with not a whole ton of right wing support, New Moderates were able to win again by a very close margin.
