'''General elections''' were held in Cascadia on September 17, 2022 to elect the [[Governor of Cascadia]] and all twelve seats in the [[Legislature of Cascadia|House of Representatives]] for one-month terms.

This was the second monthly general election in [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]]. [[ViolentVampire]] and [[Sayerleft#Sayerleft on Terra Aurora|Sayerleft]] were elected as the 2nd Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Cascadia. This was the second of three elections in Cascadia to not be held on the third Sunday of a month, and was the first election in Cascadia to utilize [[Nonpartisan proportionality|proportional representation]] by means of ranked choice voting. | ||
Incumbent Governor [[ | Incumbent Governor [[Sayerleft]] did not stand for re-election. The gubernatorial election resulted in a victory for incumbent Treasurer [[ViolentVampire]], receiving a record 95.2% of the vote. Voter turnout was down slightly at 46.7% of eligible voters. The House elections resulted in incumbents winning just half of the seats, with incumbents winning just around 52% of first-preference votes. This would be the last election held in Cascadia under the Crown of New Mexico, as Cascadia would separate all ties from the Crown of New Mexico on September 29, 2022. It would also be the last election held while Cascadia was a member state of the United States of America (2022), with Cascadia participating in its last U.S. presidential election. | ||
As of March 2025, this election remains the largest electoral landslide of any Cascadian presidential election. | |||

ViolentVampire had unified support across much of the nation, and PavTheYT's candidacy was not seen as very serious. PavTheYT, after all, was a strong supporter of ViolentVampire and of Governor Sayerleft. ViolentVampire did not personally campaign during this election, as he was expected to win a substantial landslide. Vamp received the support of outgoing governor Sayerleft, who was his running mate, as well as outgoing lieutenant governor [[EstiQT]]. | ||

Of these five, two were incumbents, with East representative shattered2907 of [[Spokane (Aurora)|Spokane]] contesting re-election, as well as Northwest representative CatPerson136 of Bend. | |||

}}The '''September 2022 United States presidential election in Cascadia''' took place on September 17, 2022, as part of the September 2022 United States presidential election, and alongside other elections in Cascadia. Cascadian voters expressed their preference for who should be elected President and Vice President of the United States of America (2022) for a one-month term via popular vote. | |||
Cascadian voters overwhelmingly voted for the Democratic-Republican ticket of [[Aurora:Alaska#The Malso Era|Alaskan]] governor Malso_ and outgoing Cascadian governor Sayerleft, against the Federalist ticket of Louisiana governor Karatoss and [[Aurora:Coats|Coats]] governor Cartoon. Despite this, Karatoss would go onto win the election. | |||
This would be the last presidential election Cascadia would participate in, before the severing of ties in October 2022. It was the first (and only) one in which Cascadia participated as a state rather than a territory. | |||
