Presidential Election Act 17/08/20
2. The presidential elections will, to avoid creating a third, unnecessary, election season, almost coincide with the general elections. Therefore the presidential elections will take place seven days before the scheduled general election.
3. a) Any member of the region (one per person) may stand for the position of President. They must make the Cheif Voting Officer (Orennica at the time of writing) aware of their wish to compete at least one week before the presidential elections.
3. b) A candidate may compete as an independent candidate or for a party that they are a member of.
3. c) Specific parties may choose to sport just one candidate in the election so as to not split the vote. This is up to the party, as is the decision of who is prioritised, however other members of the party may still run independently. They will, of course, not have the benefit of being the official candidate for their party, however.
3. d) If a party has seven official members or less, they may install the President in a cabinet position.
4. A presidential candidate must announce a running mate, who, if the presidential candidate were to win, would become the Vice-President.
5. Prohibits the Glorious Leader from running for President or as a candidate’s running mate.
