	{{~~Stub~~}}		General elections are held in [[Osolia]] every two months{{Refn\|On evenly-numbered months}} to elect the [[Chief of Osolia]] and [[Speaker of Osolia]]. Elections are regulated by the [[Constitution of the Chiefdom of Osolia\|Osolian Constitution]], as well as the [[Fair Elections Act]]. Since the [[June 2024 Osolian general election]], elections have primarily been held on the [[my.osolia]] platform.

	~~General elections are held in~~ [[Osolia]] ~~every two months{{Refn\|On evenly-numbered months}}~~ to ~~elect~~ the [[Chief ~~of Osolia~~]] and [[~~Speaker of Osolia~~]]. ~~Elections are regulated by~~ the ~~[[Constitution~~ of the ~~Chiefdom~~ of ~~Osolia\|Osolian Constitution]]~~, as ~~well as~~ the ~~[[Fair Elections Act]]~~. ~~Since~~ the ~~[[June 2024 Osolian general~~ election]], elections ~~have primarily been held~~ in ~~[[my~~.~~osolia]]~~.		Both Osolian citizens and [[Residency in Osolia\|residents]] are allowed to participate in general elections.

			== Electoral system ==
			During a general election, Osolians vote for the Chief, who leads the [[Chief's Council]], and the Speaker, who leads the legislature, the [[Osolian Assembly]].

			Before an election commences, usually on the first day of the month of the election, candidacy will open on my.osolia, where citizens may formally declare themselves as a candidate for either Chief or Speaker (they cannot run for both at the same time, per the Constitution). Candidacy closes at the same time as the election begins.

			After candidacy ends and voting begins, elections in Osolia employ an instant-runoff voting system. This is where voters rank the candidates for each position in order of preference from favored candidate to least favored candidate. Once the election period ends within 24-48 hours as required by the Constitution, counting will begin. The candidate with the lowest number of votes is eliminated in several rounds until someone achieves a majority (50% + 1) of the electorate.

	~~Both Osolian citizens~~ and ~~[[Residency~~ in ~~Osolia\|residents]] are allowed~~ to ~~participate in general elections~~.		That means that to earn a majority, one must earn at least half of all votes, plus an additional one, to earn a true majority. For instance, if there are 8 total votes, then a candidate must earn 4 votes to earn a 50% share, then an additional vote, for a total of 5 votes to win a true majority and thus the election.

			If a tie cannot be broken via instant runoff, the Speaker must run a special election with only the top 2 candidates in a race to choose from. If this still does not break the tie, then the Speaker shall pick the winner.
