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.

Results

Michael lost 5 votes since the previous election while the Hydrogen and Triforce gained 2 and 6 votes respectively, with it being Triforce's first time on the ballot.
