General elections were held on October 20th, 2024 in Cascadia to elect the President of Cascadia, all fifteen seats in the House of Representatives for one-month terms, and retention referendums for all judges of the Supreme Court. This was the twenty seventh election to be held in Cascadia.

Incumbent President Dracnoian has announced his intention to run for a second term in office, and against him, five candidates announced their intention to run. This included former President SergioTheCrafter, former President lovelyfurball, and Representative and Advisor to the President Timeline.

The House of Representatives elections were fierce as well. Multiple current representatives lost their seat in the House of Representatives

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 Electoral Commission convened in early October 2024 under the provisions of Section 2, Article III of the Constitution and made recommendations on changes to constituency boundaries due to monthly changes in population, influence, and activity. The Commission report, released and ratified on October 12th, 2024.

Campaign

Prior to the electoral campaign period, the candidates for the election were uncertain. President Milgorn123 had hinted at a potential third-term run, however eventually decided upon standing down for re-election. Sign-ups for the Presidential Election began on Saturday, April 8, 2023, and soon saw the candidacy declarations of AghastBlock, Ohgizmo, Ninjaboi301, Ir0n__, and Akeboun. Additionally, Representative and former Defense Secretary Paradox_1080 announced his candidacy, but soon withdrew from the race. Akeboun, a candidate who had previously ran in the February and March elections unsuccessfully against President Milgorn, was seen as the initial frontrunner in the race, alongside seasoned statesman and incumbent House Speaker AghastBlock. Ir0n, a Representative from the Great North who formed a town just nearly 2.5 months prior, was seen as a wild card candidate, however surprisingly received notable endorsements, such as Former President TylenolEC, and later, President Milgorn himself.

Presidential Debate

Under the organization of SayerQT and moderation of President Milgorn, a Presidential Debate was held at 4:00 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, between Akeboun, AghastBlock, Ir0n, and Ohgizmo.
