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. | |||
