General elections are scheduled to be held on 20 November 2022 in Cascadia to elect the President of Cascadia and all fifteen seats in the House of Representatives for one-month terms, an increase in seats from the previous 12 contested in the last election. These elections are being held concurrently with the first election for Cascadia's five seats in the American Assembly, an international deliberative body and central organ of the American Union alliance. These will be the fourth elections to be held in Cascadia.

Incumbent President ViolentVampire is standing for re-election to a third term as President. He is virtually unchallenged, despite past hints at a presidential campaign from notable government officials, such as Secretary of Recruitment EstiQT. His rivals in the race are former representative and Mayor of Yakima PavTheYT, and Deputy Treasurer, House Representative, and Mayor of Bread Inc, Bachinuni; PavTheYT being notable for being Vamp's challenger in his first race for the presidency in September. While polling has been minimal, as is typically the case on EarthMC, the limited amount of pulling and the general national attitude overwhelmingly favors the scenario where ViolentVampire is re-elected in his third consecutive landslide.

A new constituency, Central, was added in the House of Representatives. For the first time since the inaugural election of the House of Representatives, each constituency will not have the exact same district magnitude; this is to reportedly have the districts more regional opposed to purely based on equal influence and size. Two of the Twelve current members of the House, Arathorn52 (South Metropolitan), and CatPersonQT (North Metropolitan) are not standing for re-election, and many major newcomer campaigns are being forged, especially in the Central and South Metropolitan constituencies. This campaign was the longest campaign so far in a Cascadian election, due to President ViolentVampire opening applications for this election nearly 13 days in advance of the election.

These elections will be the first elections held under the Third Amendment to the Constitution, which removed the fixed date for elections and altered it to a floating date on the third sunday of each month; as well will be the first elections held since the formation of the American Union alliance by Cascadia, the Midwestern Union, and the Mexican Empire.

Electoral system

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. 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 House Standing Committee on Apportionment convened in early November 2022 under the provisions of the Apportionment Committee Act of August 2022 with Legislature President SayerQT as chair, and made recommendations on changes to constituency boundaries due to monthly changes in population, influence, and activity. The Committee report, released on 7 Nove,ber 2022, recommended an increase in the number of representatives from 12 to 15 elected in 4 constituencies, instead of the previous 3; creating the new constituency of Central. The committee also recommended variance in the number of members returned from each constituency, opposed to the equal number used in previous legislative elections. These changes were implemented by H.R. 17 The November 2022 legislative electoral distribution order. The election of the 4th Legislature was therefore held using the new boundaries, for 15 seats.
