Elections

The elections, officially known as general elections, are the democratic procedure through which the citizens of the Kingdom of Game City choose their candidates for President and Vice President. The elections in Game City are held every 2 years.

General elections.
In a standard general election, there are usually various candidates, each representing a specific political party. So far, there are three political parties: the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and For a Better World. Alongside the candidate for President is their running mate, who upon their victory becomes the Vice President.

Game City uses a first-past-the-post voting system, in which voters cast their vote for a candidate of their choice, and the candidate who makes it across the 50% mark becomes President and can form a government. Previously under the red-blue dual-party system, it was much simpler: whoever got the higher percentage won. However, now that there are more than two parties, it is more complex. If the candidate with the highest percentage doesn't pass the 50% checkpoint, they will have to form a coalition with another party (usually one of the smaller ones) in order to form a government.

Snap elections.
In the event of both a President and Vice President being unable to perform their government duties, the King (and only the King) can call for a snap election to elect a new government (and if there are no candidates, the King will hand-pick a President, but this is an absolute last resort).
