First Roman Election

The **First Roman Election** is an election that took place on the 19th to 21st of January, 2021. It consisted on 2 Consul Election (with two winners), 10 senate elections (with the Athenian senate seat producing 2 winners), and 1 gubernatorial election.

## Consul Election

The Consul Election will had multiple rounds to ensure the winning candidates were widely liked by the electorate. The percentages add up to 200% in the first round, as each person had to vote for 2 candidates.

First Round Candidates:

* Pibb
* Origami146
* Owning
* Mak
* Samsclub
* Pussilamous

After the first round, Pibb had secured the first Consulship, and a runoff was held between Mak and Owning. During the race, Owning founded the National Populist Party as an opposition to the Liberal Party. Mak won this runoff by just one vote. Cisalpina was the only inhabited state to have a turnout of 0% in both elections.

## Senate Elections

There are 10 seats in the Roman Senate, following the law in the constitution that says

*An eligible state for an election has at least 5 members. All ineligible states will be put into one group and will elect a senator from them, if the number of members in these states is great enough to elect more than one senator, then the group will be divided further. If a big state has more than 9 members then they may elect 2 senators. This is a basic formula - band together if <5, 1 senator if 5<x<9, 2 if >9*

This system provided Athens with 2 seats, Aegyptus, Gallia, Pyzantion, Septentrionalis, and Terra Sarculo with one seat, and the merged states inculded Belgica/Britannia, Cisalpina/Italia/Illyria, and Hispania/Mauretania, all having one seat each.
