Electoral system
Governor
The Governor of Cascadia was elected by First-past-the-post (FPTP) voting due to only two candidates being on the ballot. In this system, voters cast a single vote for a single candidate, and whichever candidate gets the most votes after the voting period has ended, they are elected governor. The voting period lasts for roughly twenty four hours. Voters may mark only one candidate.
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.
