==== Public ballot ====
In accordance with the [[Salish Confederation|Salish]] and [[Old Cascadia|Cascadian]] electoral tradition on [[Terra Nova (Planet)|Terra Nova]], elections were held using a public ballot based on reactions in the Cascadian discord. These would be the only elections in which voter choice was made public, as Cascadia would adopt secret ballot alongside ranked choice voting and proportional representation in the September 2022 election and from then on.

Applications were opened on August 13. ToasterBurnt was the first to announce their candidacy. ImLitten of Helena also announced their candidacy, but their application was invalid since they did not choose their [[Cabinet of Cascadia|Executive Council]]. [[SayerQT]] announced her candidacy, stating that she would prioritize increasing activity and towns as much as possible, while also starting the creation of a strong cascadian government system that can provide for the towns, citizens, and mayors alike". [[ViolentVampire]] was the last to announce his candidacy. This candidacy however was seen as mostly as a shitpost, as it only consisted a part of Palpatine's [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Declaration_of_a_New_Order Declaration of a New Order], as well as his Executive Council picks being only himself. In the end, SayerQT and ToasterBurnt were the only valid candidates for this election.
