March 2021 Nubia elections
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The March 2021 Nubia elections are the elections scheduled for early March 2021 in Nubia for Minister positions in government.
Background
Election complaints
Over the course of February 2021, several people who contested for the February 2021 elections and failed complained in regards to elections, questioning if they were needed. This was due to them believing everyone from February would be re-elected in the elections, and thus elections weren't needed.
A small debate would last across multiple days, between those in favor of elections (mainly Emperor twomoo1119 and Minister of Foreign Affairs gorkymoo1119) and those not (cadenstolethetoe). It would result in little change, and the elections would continue as before.
Ministers intending not to run
Several incumbent Ministers expressed a lack of interest in running for their position, however did not decline completely. These were:
- Minister of Municipal Development, StarKiller1744
- Minister of Trade and Commerce, Thee_Boss
- Minister of Cultural Affairs, Mengan_
As a result of this, several positions looked as if they'd be occupied by someone who wasn't an incumbent Minister.

Campaign
Campaigning coalitions
Several candidates had endorsed or worked together with other people for other positions in government as people that would be ideal for them to work alongside. Many of those who were endorsed also had endorsed the person back.
cadenwantstoes and Thee_Boss
One notable mention in government coalitions was between cadenwantstoes and Thee_Boss. Despite the two running against each other for Minister of Trade and Commerce in the December and February elections, Thee_Boss chose to run for Minister of Cultural Affairs instead of Trade and Commerce. After private talks, it was agreed Thee_Boss would help and allow for cadenwantstoes to use and campaign on his MAST plan.
Candidate propaganda and campaign
As had been the case for the last few elections, propaganda usage in form of pictures became less common. Four people (cadenwantstoes, gorkymoo1119, Thee_Boss and UsualKostas) would use image propaganda, with more focus put on text in promoting campaigns. Mass-campaigning was used less and more debate took place. Despite this, candidates who used propaganda more still received more votes, with 3 of the most prominent campaigns having their candidate get into office (cadenwantstoes, gorkymoo1119 and Lopile).
