Title: Federation Presidential elections YC 122
Post by: Menkalinan on 25 Mar 2019, 05:27
With only nine months to go before the next elections for President of the Federated Union of Gallente Prime, I thought it might be entertaining to write a piece previewing the horse race; the runners, the riders and the issues in play.

I’d be keen to do this in collaboration with anyone interested in providing editorial and/or research contributions. Please get in touch.

In particular, I would be grateful for comments below:
Many thanks!

She’s a popular choice.

Any more Ramnev lore?

A news article Galactic Hour News Roundup: Flashpoints and Diplomacy Edition (https://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/galactic-hour-news-roundup-flashpoints-and-diplomacy-edition/) gives us the Federation Presidential Election dates.

Federal Elections Commission Sets Gallente Presidental Election Date

Villore, Essence – The Gallente Federal Elections Commission has announced that the Federation Presidential Election will be held over the 28th and 29th of February YC122. The inauguration of the Federation President will take place on the 20th of March. The Presidential Election will be held alongside voting for 180 Federal Senate seats as per the system of electing a fifth of senatorial seats each year on a five-year cycle.

The announcement of the date has come after consultations with the Federal Senate, System Governors, Federal Military Commission and President Jacus Roden, following the "quadruple lock" regulations to ensure all federal territories continue to have access to the franchise despite prevailing conditions of conflict or other political considerations. The ongoing conflict with the Triglavian Collective has been of some concern to many looking forward to electing a new Federation President, but outgoing two-term President Jacus Roden has been vocal in his insistence that all Federation citizens will have the opportunity to exercise their democratic rights.

Gallente news media have been speculating on who will be the leading candidates for several months and now expect a series of declarations to mark the beginning of the campaign period running up to the end of February election weekend.

Interesting, I have forgotten about the election.

Maybe it's time for Jacus Roden to step down and get a new president..... It would be interesting to see how it goes.
