}}'''General elections''' are scheduled to be held on 20 November 2022 in [[Cascadia]] to elect the [[President of Cascadia]] and all fifteen seats in the [[Legislature of Cascadia|House of Representatives]] for one-month terms, an increase in seats from the previous 12 contested in the last election. These elections are being held concurrently with the first election for Cascadia's five seats in the American Assembly, an international deliberative body and central organ of the American Union alliance. These will be the fourth elections to be held in Cascadia.  
}}'''General elections''' were held on 20 November 2022 in [[Cascadia]] to elect the [[President of Cascadia]] and all fifteen seats in the [[Legislature of Cascadia|House of Representatives]] for one-month terms, an increase in seats from the previous twelve contested in the last election. These elections were held concurrently with the first (and only) election for Cascadia's five seats in the American Assembly, an international deliberative body and central organ of the American Union alliance. These were the fourth elections to be held in Cascadia.  


Incumbent President [[ViolentVampire]] is standing for re-election to a third term as President. He is virtually unchallenged, despite past hints at a presidential campaign from notable government officials, such as Secretary of Recruitment [[EstiQT]]. His rivals in the race are former representative and Mayor of Yakima PavTheYT, and Deputy Treasurer, House Representative, and Mayor of Bread Inc, Bachinuni; PavTheYT being notable for being Vamp's challenger in his first race for the presidency in [[September 2022 Cascadia general election|September]]. While polling has been minimal, as is typically the case on EarthMC, the limited amount of pulling and the general national attitude overwhelmingly favors the scenario where ViolentVampire is re-elected in his third consecutive landslide.

A new constituency, Central, was added in the House of Representatives. For the first time since the inaugural election of the House of Representatives, each constituency will not have the exact same district magnitude; this is to reportedly have the districts more regional opposed to purely based on equal influence and size. Two of the Twelve current members of the House, Arathorn52 (South Metropolitan), and CatPersonQT (North Metropolitan) are not standing for re-election, and many major newcomer campaigns are being forged, especially in the Central and South Metropolitan constituencies. This campaign was the longest campaign so far in a Cascadian election, due to President ViolentVampire opening applications for this election nearly 13 days in advance of the election.

This campaign was the longest campaign so far in a Cascadian election, due to President ViolentVampire opening applications for this election nearly 13 days in advance of the election.  


These elections will be the first elections held under the Third Amendment to the Constitution, which removed the fixed date for elections and altered it to a floating date on the third sunday of each month; as well will be the first elections held since the formation of the American Union alliance by Cascadia, the Midwestern Union, and the Mexican Empire.
The campaign for President waas fairly uneventful, and resulted in a landslide re-election of ViolentVampire to a third term in office, with Bachinuni coming in a distant second place. This election saw many shakeups on the house level, with the "Sagebrush Bloc" winning all but one of the seats in the new Central constituency. Voter turnout surged from the previous election, with 52.5% of eligible voters casting a ballot, for a total of 52 votes cast. This would be the largest election conducted in cascadian history until a month later in the December general election.

These elections were the first elections held under the Third Amendment to the Constitution, which removed the fixed date for elections and altered it to a floating date on the third sunday of each month; as well will be the first elections held since the formation of the American Union alliance by Cascadia, the Midwestern Union, and the Mexican Empire.

=== President ===
===President ===
The President of Cascadia was elected by Instant Runoff Voting due to more than two candidates being on the ballot. In this system, voters complete a closed ballot on google forms, numbering candidates 1, 2, 3, etc. in order of their preference. The voting period lasts for roughly twenty four hours, however this may be a tiny bit more. Voters may mark as many or as few preferences as they wish. Each ballot is initially credited to its first-preference candidate but may be transferred on later counts to the next available preference where the first preference candidate is elected or eliminated.


=== House of Representatives ===
=== House of Representatives===
Members of the House of Representatives were elected by single transferable vote (STV) from 4 constituencies with between three and five seats. In this system, voters complete a closed ballot on google forms, numbering candidates 1, 2, 3, etc. in order of their preference. The voting period lasts for roughly twenty four hours, however this may be a tiny bit more. Voters may mark as many or as few preferences as they wish. Each ballot is initially credited to its first-preference candidate but may be transferred on later counts to the next available preference where the first preference candidate is elected or eliminated.


=== American Assembly ===
====Electoral boundary changes====
The House Standing Committee on Apportionment convened in early November 2022 under the provisions of the Apportionment Committee Act of August 2022 with [[Cabinet of Cascadia#Vice President|Legislature President]] SayerQT as chair, and made recommendations on changes to constituency boundaries due to monthly changes in population, influence, and activity. The Committee report, released on 7 November 2022, recommended an increase in the number of representatives from 12 to 15 elected in 4 constituencies, instead of the previous 3; creating the new constituency of Central. The committee also recommended variance in the number of members returned from each constituency, opposed to the equal number used in previous legislative elections. These changes were implemented by H.R. 17 The November 2022 legislative electoral distribution order. The election of the 4th Legislature was therefore held using the new boundaries, for 15 seats.


= Presidential election =
===American Assembly===
The cascadian members of the American Assembly were elected by single transferable vote (STV) in a single nationwide constituency, with five seats being up for grabs, with a quota of 16.7% needed to win.

==Campaign==
Applications were opened on November 7, and on that very day, former representative and Secretary of Defense PavTheYT announced his candidacy for the presidency. This candidacy however was seen as mostly as a shitpost, with their campaign announcement nearly entirely consisting of "meow". Two days later, on the ninth, President Vamp formally announced his bid for a third term. He stated in his announcement that "if the people of Cascadia decide to grant me another term my main priorities will be making our national shop one of the largest on the server, using the gold from the shop to fund new welfare programs, bringing an end to the hunter epidemic through education and military action, beautifying the region with nation wide building projects, and bringing the Cascadian community closer together with weekly events."
 
The campaign was mostly uneventful, due to the massive amount of support held by President Vamp following the six-hour war and the significant expansion of Cascadia that had occurred under his previous two terms in office. He also received a significant number of endorsements, compared to his opponents which received zero.
 
Three days before the election, representative Bachinuni formally announced his candidacy, stating that if elected he would prioritize keeping cascadians safe from hunters, which was a dominating issue of the campaign.

}}Before redistricting, the Frontier constituency spanned the northeast BC interior, as well as most of Eastern Washington and Oregon, including towns such as Kennewick, Bread Inc., and Avola. However, after redistricting, most of this area was redistricted into the new Central constituency, with the Frontier district being mostly just the towns in Cascadia past the rockies or in the eastern section of the Columbia Plateau. The largest settlement in the constituency was Spokane. The only incumbent who wasn't redistricted, jtwokay, ran for re-election, alongside 3 newcomers.

}}Central was created for the first time as an electoral division for this election, and consisted of much of what was formerly a part of the Frontier constituency. This change was made due to the population increases in the region which necessitated the creation of a standalone district for the region. The district encompassed much of the Columbia Plateau, as well as north into the BC interior. It elected 4 members to the House of Representatives in this election, with major population centers being in Freewater and Umatilla County.


=== Candidates ===
This election was unique due to the campaign of the “Sagebrush Bloc”, an electoral alliance of four candidates all from the so-called “Sagebrush metro”, consisting of Freewater and Umatilla County. This ticket included Ambassador, Mayor (and future president) TylenolEC, Mayor Holden66, and County Councillors Weidman555 and Frankie4SD. Their campaign was seen widely as a populist one, as all of them not being prominently active in national electoral politics before, with only Tylenol having served in any post in the national government, that being Ambassador to Asia.
The campaign also saw other candidates not from the Sagebrush Bloc, notably two candidates for President; Mayor of Bread Inc Bachinuni, and former representative and defense secretary PavTheYT who were joined by incumbent representative Cheeseballfluffy, the only incumbent in the race.


=== Campaign ===
The result of the race was a victory for the Sagebrush Bloc, winning 3 of the 4 seats up for grabs, with just Frankie4SD losing his bid. Out of the non-sagebrush candidates, Bachinuni beat out PavTheYT and cheeseballfluffy to make it into the House, unseating the only incumbent in the race.


=== Results ===
TylenolEC would later go on to serve as the 3rd President of Cascadia from December 2022 to January 2023, and Bachinuni would later go on to serve as Secretary of Defense.

Compared to the last election, the boundaries of South Metropolitan remained relatively unchanged, however with the number of seats allocated to the district increased from four to five. Many candidates ran to fill the open seat, as well as to contest the others, with representatives Arathorn52 and Paradox_1080 standing down for re-election. The vote resulted in a shocking loss for Secretary of Defense DaPigThatBig, which led to the pretext for Washingtonian secession from Cascadia as a part of DaPigThatBig’s espionage operation to take control of Oregon and to liberate Oregon from authoritarianism.

The race resulted in a victory for all incumbents besides Furballen, due to the number of seats for the district dropping from four to three. Falcoeur was assumed to be a shoe-in for the race, however faced a surprisingly close race, winning by a hair.

General elections were held on 20 November 2022 in Cascadia to elect the President of Cascadia and all fifteen seats in the House of Representatives for one-month terms, an increase in seats from the previous twelve contested in the last election. These elections were held concurrently with the first (and only) election for Cascadia's five seats in the American Assembly, an international deliberative body and central organ of the American Union alliance. These were the fourth elections to be held in Cascadia.

Incumbent President ViolentVampire stood for re-election to a third term as President. He was virtually unchallenged, despite past hints at a presidential campaign from notable government officials, such as Secretary of Recruitment EstiQT. His rivals in the race included former representative and Mayor of Yakima PavTheYT, as well as House Representative and Mayor of Bread Inc, Bachinuni; PavTheYT being notable for being Vamp's challenger in his first race for the presidency in September.

A new constituency, Central, was added in the House of Representatives. For the first time since the inaugural election of the House of Representatives, each constituency did not have the exact same district magnitude; this was done to have the districts more regional opposed to purely based on equal influence and size. Two of the twelve incumbent members of the House, Arathorn52 (South Metropolitan), and CatPersonQT (North Metropolitan) did not stand for re-election, and many major newcomer campaigns are being forged, especially in the Central and South Metropolitan constituencies. This campaign was the longest campaign so far in a Cascadian election, due to President ViolentVampire opening applications for this election nearly 13 days in advance of the election.

The campaign for President waas fairly uneventful, and resulted in a landslide re-election of ViolentVampire to a third term in office, with Bachinuni coming in a distant second place. This election saw many shakeups on the house level, with the "Sagebrush Bloc" winning all but one of the seats in the new Central constituency. Voter turnout surged from the previous election, with 52.5% of eligible voters casting a ballot, for a total of 52 votes cast. This would be the largest election conducted in cascadian history until a month later in the December general election.

These elections were the first elections held under the Third Amendment to the Constitution, which removed the fixed date for elections and altered it to a floating date on the third sunday of each month; as well will be the first elections held since the formation of the American Union alliance by Cascadia, the Midwestern Union, and the Mexican Empire.

Electoral system

President

The President of Cascadia was elected by Instant Runoff Voting due to more than two candidates being on the ballot. In this system, voters complete a closed ballot on google forms, numbering candidates 1, 2, 3, etc. in order of their preference. The voting period lasts for roughly twenty four hours, however this may be a tiny bit more. Voters may mark as many or as few preferences as they wish. Each ballot is initially credited to its first-preference candidate but may be transferred on later counts to the next available preference where the first preference candidate is elected or eliminated.

House of Representatives

Members of the House of Representatives were elected by single transferable vote (STV) from 4 constituencies with between three and five seats. In this system, voters complete a closed ballot on google forms, numbering candidates 1, 2, 3, etc. in order of their preference. The voting period lasts for roughly twenty four hours, however this may be a tiny bit more. Voters may mark as many or as few preferences as they wish. Each ballot is initially credited to its first-preference candidate but may be transferred on later counts to the next available preference where the first preference candidate is elected or eliminated.

Electoral boundary changes

The House Standing Committee on Apportionment convened in early November 2022 under the provisions of the Apportionment Committee Act of August 2022 with Legislature President SayerQT as chair, and made recommendations on changes to constituency boundaries due to monthly changes in population, influence, and activity. The Committee report, released on 7 November 2022, recommended an increase in the number of representatives from 12 to 15 elected in 4 constituencies, instead of the previous 3; creating the new constituency of Central. The committee also recommended variance in the number of members returned from each constituency, opposed to the equal number used in previous legislative elections. These changes were implemented by H.R. 17 The November 2022 legislative electoral distribution order. The election of the 4th Legislature was therefore held using the new boundaries, for 15 seats.

American Assembly

The cascadian members of the American Assembly were elected by single transferable vote (STV) in a single nationwide constituency, with five seats being up for grabs, with a quota of 16.7% needed to win.

Campaign

Applications were opened on November 7, and on that very day, former representative and Secretary of Defense PavTheYT announced his candidacy for the presidency. This candidacy however was seen as mostly as a shitpost, with their campaign announcement nearly entirely consisting of "meow". Two days later, on the ninth, President Vamp formally announced his bid for a third term. He stated in his announcement that "if the people of Cascadia decide to grant me another term my main priorities will be making our national shop one of the largest on the server, using the gold from the shop to fund new welfare programs, bringing an end to the hunter epidemic through education and military action, beautifying the region with nation wide building projects, and bringing the Cascadian community closer together with weekly events."

The campaign was mostly uneventful, due to the massive amount of support held by President Vamp following the six-hour war and the significant expansion of Cascadia that had occurred under his previous two terms in office. He also received a significant number of endorsements, compared to his opponents which received zero.

Three days before the election, representative Bachinuni formally announced his candidacy, stating that if elected he would prioritize keeping cascadians safe from hunters, which was a dominating issue of the campaign.

Before redistricting, the Frontier constituency spanned the northeast BC interior, as well as most of Eastern Washington and Oregon, including towns such as Kennewick, Bread Inc., and Avola. However, after redistricting, most of this area was redistricted into the new Central constituency, with the Frontier district being mostly just the towns in Cascadia past the rockies or in the eastern section of the Columbia Plateau. The largest settlement in the constituency was Spokane. The only incumbent who wasn't redistricted, jtwokay, ran for re-election, alongside 3 newcomers.

Central was created for the first time as an electoral division for this election, and consisted of much of what was formerly a part of the Frontier constituency. This change was made due to the population increases in the region which necessitated the creation of a standalone district for the region. The district encompassed much of the Columbia Plateau, as well as north into the BC interior. It elected 4 members to the House of Representatives in this election, with major population centers being in Freewater and Umatilla County.

This election was unique due to the campaign of the “Sagebrush Bloc”, an electoral alliance of four candidates all from the so-called “Sagebrush metro”, consisting of Freewater and Umatilla County. This ticket included Ambassador, Mayor (and future president) TylenolEC, Mayor Holden66, and County Councillors Weidman555 and Frankie4SD. Their campaign was seen widely as a populist one, as all of them not being prominently active in national electoral politics before, with only Tylenol having served in any post in the national government, that being Ambassador to Asia. The campaign also saw other candidates not from the Sagebrush Bloc, notably two candidates for President; Mayor of Bread Inc Bachinuni, and former representative and defense secretary PavTheYT who were joined by incumbent representative Cheeseballfluffy, the only incumbent in the race.

The result of the race was a victory for the Sagebrush Bloc, winning 3 of the 4 seats up for grabs, with just Frankie4SD losing his bid. Out of the non-sagebrush candidates, Bachinuni beat out PavTheYT and cheeseballfluffy to make it into the House, unseating the only incumbent in the race.

TylenolEC would later go on to serve as the 3rd President of Cascadia from December 2022 to January 2023, and Bachinuni would later go on to serve as Secretary of Defense.

Compared to the last election, the boundaries of South Metropolitan remained relatively unchanged, however with the number of seats allocated to the district increased from four to five. Many candidates ran to fill the open seat, as well as to contest the others, with representatives Arathorn52 and Paradox_1080 standing down for re-election. The vote resulted in a shocking loss for Secretary of Defense DaPigThatBig, which led to the pretext for Washingtonian secession from Cascadia as a part of DaPigThatBig’s espionage operation to take control of Oregon and to liberate Oregon from authoritarianism.

Mole_ would later go on to be elected as the first Public Advocate of Cascadia, and Fr0z3nW1nt3r would later become Secretary of State.

The race resulted in a victory for all incumbents besides Furballen, due to the number of seats for the district dropping from four to three. Falcoeur was assumed to be a shoe-in for the race, however faced a surprisingly close race, winning by a hair.

American assembly election

Cascadia’s first, and only, elections to the American Assembly were held on the same date as the November 2022 Cascadia general election. All 5 seats up for grabs were contested nationwide via Single Transferable Vote. Many candidates ran, and the resulting members would serve in the first and only session of the American Assembly. The American Assembly was later disestablished prior to the scheduled next election.
