The New Alexandrian general election of 1729 was held from 1.XII.1729 AN to 3.XII.1729 AN.
Background
Main Issues
Electoral system
Elections in Nouvelle Alexandrie operate on a system of proportional representation, conducted region by region. Voters have the option to choose either from party lists or independent slates that appear on the ballot. The electoral system employs the Sainte-Laguë method, a highest quotient system, for allocating seats in each region's party-list proportional representation. This ensures a more equitable distribution of seats according to vote shares. The legal threshold for any party to gain representation in a given region is 2% of the total votes.
Upon the conclusion of the elections, if a party achieves a majority of seats in the Federal Assembly, it is entitled to form the government. The leader of the winning party then assumes the position of President of the Government. In instances where no party secures an outright majority, resulting in a hung Cortes Federales, the country's governance can proceed in one of two main ways: either through the formation of a coalition government comprised of multiple parties or a minority government that governs with the external support of other parties, all in strict accordance with Nouvelle Alexandrie’s legal framework.
Date of the Election
The deadline for candidate nominations was 1.VIII.1729 AN, with official political campaigning starting on 2.VIII.1729 AN until polling day on 1.XII.1729 AN. On the day of the election, polling stations across the country will be open from 6:00am local time and close at 10pm local time.
Reapportionment and Demographic Considerations
The electoral landscape is also shaped by periodic reapportionment exercises, the most recent of which followed the 1729 census. The primary aim of reapportionment is to ensure that each region’s representation in the Federal Assembly is proportional to its population, while also considering other factors like regional importance. This process is constitutionally mandated and relies heavily on census data for its execution.
