General elections were held in Osolia on 15 June 2025. These elections marked 1 year since the introduction of my.osolia for voting and candidacy.

Candidacy registration opened June 6th, 2025, after the writs of election were issued by the Speaker, and closed when voting opened on June 15th, 2025 at midnight UTC. Voting closed on June 17th, 2025 at midnight UTC.

Both Hydrogen and Michael Webb won after both positions were tied, for the positions of Chief and Speaker, respectively.

Candidacy

Nobody had registered as a candidate for the election until 13 June 2025, when Scion made note of this in the Osolian Discord server. Shortly thereafter, Josephine announced her candidacy for the position of Chief, while both Michael Webb and tz_scion announced their respective candidacies for the position of Speaker.

running for speaker to jumpscare osolians with an election that kinda matters - tz_scion

A couple hours later, Hydrogen also announced his candidacy.

Results

The results were published by the Digital Osolia Office and the Office of the Speaker a couple minutes after midnight UTC, which showed that both elections were tied.

The Speaker, following the procedure outlined in the Constitution and the Osolian Governance Act, first asked candidates whether any wanted to concede. Josephine offered to concede if Hydrogen would agree to build the capitol complex first proposed in the December 2024 Osolian general election. This was agreed, and Josephine officially conceded the election 15 minutes after midnight UTC, resulting in Hydrogen being elected Chief.

For the position of Speaker, neither candidate chose to concede. Because they were the only two running, it was the responsibility of the incumbent Speaker to choose how to resolve the tie. A coin flip was proposed by Hydrogen, who stated that that had been the de facto plan for resolving ties, even though it was not written in legislation.

A wheel was spun by the Speaker in the presence of Hydrogen, tz_scion, and TriforceComet. It was also recorded, the video of which has since been posted to the Osolian Discord. The wheel resulted in Michael Webb being elected Speaker, although stating that he would appoint tz_scion as Acting Speaker during unavailability.
