 The President of Cascadia is elected by Instant Runoff Voting when there are 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.

-==== Background ====
+====Background====
 The February 2025 general election saw President Farosh re-elected to a second term with HawaiianDPG as his running mate. The ticket received 73.3% of the vote. HawaiianDPG, who previously served as Secretary of State in Farosh's first cabinet, replaced Xeocas on the ticket due to Xeocas's intention to move to Havaiki, an ally of Cascadia within the Organization of Free Nations.
@@ Line 147: / Line 153: @@
 The writ of election was announced by Chief Justice SayerQT on March 7, 2025, opening registration and the campaign period.
-==== Immigration ====
+====Immigration====
 The election is taking place against a backdrop of complex international relations, particularly with the ally of Havaiki. A significant Havaikian-Cascadian community, known as the Arcadian community, has influenced the political landscape, with several candidates, such as Capitanfra, Xeocas, and vice presidential candidate ShadowCipher having ties to both nations.
 Baltic immigration has emerged as a significant factor in Cascadian politics during the March 2025 general election campaign. The arrival of Baltic immigrants, such as GuyWithALife (GWAL) and MMMeslina, has introduced new perspectives and dynamics into the nation’s governance and social fabric. Both individuals have been integrated into Capitanfra’s proposed cabinet, with GWAL nominated for Vice President and MMMeslina for Secretary of State, with GWAL also being included in the proposed cabinets of HawaiianDPG and Xeocas. MMMeslina is also running for Public Advocate, and has largely been seen as the frontrunner.

+====Timeline ====
-HawaiianDPG, the incumbent Vice President, was the first candidate to register for the election, announcing his campaign at 10:55 am on March 7. His running mate was House Speaker SergioTheCrafter. He is running on a platform focused on infrastructure development and economic growth. His "Project Cascadia" plan includes expanding the recently-established CasCARE national player insurance system, revamping the national shop and improving its supply chain, strengthening regional alliances and diplomatic relations, and defending Cascadian sovereignty in Northern Cascadia.

His "Project Cascadia" plan includes expanding the recently-established CasCARE national player insurance system, revamping the national shop and improving its supply chain, strengthening regional alliances and diplomatic relations, and defending Cascadian sovereignty in Northern Cascadia. He has emphasized his place in the race as a sovereigntist and nationalist candidate.
 Capitanfra, a former Vice President and Secretary of State, was the second to register at 11:12 am that same day, announcing a comprehensive cabinet and policy platform. His campaign announced focused on improving recruitment and growth strategies, expanding Cascadia's territory eastward, investing in infrastructure, particularly iceway development, and increasing government-organized events for citizens. His initial running mate was former President 4whatok, however he was later replaced by GuyWithALife after Whatok's rejection of the role.
-Xeocas, who recently served as Deputy Prime Minister of Havaiki and had just returned back to Cascadia just days prior, registered for the presidential election on March 8. He presented a plan focusing on enhancing community engagement, improving the recruitment pipeline for new citizens, developing infrastructure projects, and strengthening home affairs and defense capabilities.

+Former President Setrus has consistently floated the possibility of running for President in the March election, and publicly expressed interest throughout the early parts of the campaign. On March 10th, he announced to nation chat on the server that he was likely to run for President, and in the days prior he had been communicating with potential cabinet nominees. He formally entered the race in the morning of March 11, and announced Secretary of the Interior Moxicodone as his running mate. His campaign announcement and platform outlined a platform centered on government efficiency, activity, recruitment, and economic development.
+Setrus’s recruitment strategy targets significant population growth, aiming for 70 new residents per week and a total of approximately 536 residents by April 20th, 2025. Economically, he proposes enhancing the nation’s shop system through new farm constructions and infrastructure modernization. His foreign policy approach prioritizes internal growth over adversarial engagements, similar to the sovereigntist policy of HawaiianDPG. Setrus has also announced a comprehensive cabinet lineup, including notable figures such as GuyWithALife and Akeboun. His campaign emphasizes practical solutions and rapid policy implementation, positioning him as a candidate focused on addressing long-standing issues.
 As the election approaches, issues such as national security, economic development, and Cascadia's role on the global stage continue to dominate the political discourse, especially in relation to the Organization of Free Nations and the ongoing OFN-Entente War.

 The 2025 Cascadian Presidential Election has been marked by notable conflicts and differences among the three main candidates—Vice President Hawaiian, former Vice President Capitanfra, and Xeocas. These disputes have centered on policy priorities, legislative records, and personal controversies, creating a highly competitive and contentious campaign atmosphere.
@@ Line 173: / Line 180: @@
 Both Capitanfra and Xeocas have faced scrutiny for their time spent outside Cascadia. Capitanfra admitted to voting in a Cascadian election while residing in California—a revelation that sparked debates about election integrity, especially on the part of Attorney General Akeboun, who opened an investigation by the Department of Justice on March 9th. Xeocas has sought to distinguish himself by highlighting his legislative accomplishments across multiple nations, including Vermont, Pilbara, and Havaiki.
