April 2022 Evergreen legislative election
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Legislative elections were held on 31 March 2022 in the Evergreen Republic to elect the 3rd Convocation of the Assembly of the Republic for a one-month term. They were held simultaneously with several non-binding opinion polls released by the SayerQT Cabinet. Elections for the provincial governments in Cascadia and British Columbia also occurred on this date. These elections occured under the incumbent government of Chancellor SayerQT.
Background
In the aftermath of the March elections, SayerQT was nominated by President xBest_Name_Everx to form a government, which she did and was confirmed by an investiture vote on 2 March 2022 by a margin of 26-2 (with 3 abstentions).
Electoral System
Voting in the Evergreen Republic is conducted via universal suffrage, and is allowed for all citizens over who became citizens prior to the election.
The Assembly of the Republic is elected using a system designed by constitution co-author SayerQT specifically for these elections (called Quotient Voting), and was modeled off of the form of approval voting formed by LawOfRence for elections for a small amount of supplementary elected seats in the Cascadian Senate. The entirety of the Assembly is elected, however there is no set number of seats. The Delegates of the Assembly are elected by the entire electorate. Each candidate to be elected as a Delegate of the Assembly (DA) must receive a quota of votes equal to or greater than 4% of the total population of all citizens of the Republic’s discord; however, the minimum number of votes that the election quota may be is three. Each voter may vote for as many candidates as one so pleases. The number of votes required for election in this instance is three.
