All citizens and residents can participate
8 votes needed for a majority

The August 2024 general elections are scheduled to be held in Osolia on August 15th, 2024. This election will be the second election to utilize my.osolia for registering and voting for candidates.

Candidacy registration opened August 1st, 2024 at 12:00 AM UTC and will last until voting opens.

Electoral system

During a general election, Osolians vote for the Chief, who leads the executive, and the Speaker, who leads the legislature.

Elections in Osolia employ instant-runoff voting. Voters rank the candidates for each position in order of preference. During counting, the candidate with the lowest number of votes is eliminated in several rounds until someone achieves a majority of the electorate.

Candidacy

Chief

Weeks before candidacy opened, incumbent Chief TriforceComet stated multiple times that he would not seek another term. He would later say that he was not interested in running for any government position. This led to the incumbent Speaker, tz_scion, to plan on running for Chief, and announced over a week before candidacy opened that he intended to do so. However, about an hour before candidacy opened, tz_scion suddenly announced that he was going to drop out of the election and did not want to seek out any government positions.

Speaker

About a week before candidacy opened, former Chief and current Director of Finance Michael Webb announced his intention to run for Speaker instead of Chief like he had previously done in all previous elections. He stated that his time serving as Acting Speaker while Speaker Scion had to tend to personal matters made him realize he would rather serve Osolia as Speaker, citing his work in passing the Post Office Act.

Hydrogen, a former Director of Finance, once again threw his hat into the ring, this time running for Speaker.
