The '''second [[Parlerment]] elections''' will be held during the ninth month of 1695. It was originally scheduled for mid-1696, but the Senate, using an overlooked clause in the Constitution, voted to dissolve its legislative session (but remaining as collective head of state, Supreme Court and caretaker legislature until replaced by an elected Senate). This had the effect that the Assembly of Representatives, to massive protests among the Lake District parties there, too was dissolved.

== Background ==


The political crisis began on 24.VII.1694 when the international [[1694 Humanist Convention]]'s leadership election was resolved by Senator Daniyal al-Osman, Prime Minister of Hurmu, leader of the [[Coalition for Democratic Humanism]], killing the the [[Dāryuš of the Suren|Surenshah]] in a duel, thereby securing the election of Fridwald Peter from [[Ransenar]] as head of the international [[Nationalist and Humanist Party]]. Lakkvians and Hurmudans were appalled, and Daniyal al-Osman's cabinet saw the mass resignation of its Lake District coalition partners (Koos, Moderates). However, the Lontinian People's Party remained in the coalition. The display of honour of the Prime Minister was extremely well received in Lontinien, and demonstrations broke out the cities of Ghawlama and [[Khojinacinggha]] in support of the Prime Minister.

In the Senate, the Humanists were a minority, holding only 3 of 9 seats. The Ayreonists in the Senate called for the resignation of the Prime Minister, and, using the filibuster clauses in the Senate rules, hijacked the Senate agenda by blocking all other items on the agenda. The Traditionalists, while sympathetic and agreeing with the Ayreonist cause in this matter, disagreed with the method. The act of the Ayreonists, the Traditionalists held, was dishonouring the sanctity and unity of the Senate. The Traditionalists invoked clause 78 in the Constitution, whereby the Senate can unilaterally dissolve its legislative session by a vote of more than a two thirds' majority (i.e. 7 votes out of 9), triggering the dissolution of the Assembly of Representatives as well. However, the Senate could not agree, by simple majority, after this act when the new election should be held. It was then found that in clause 148 of the Constitution, that "when the Assembly has been dissolved, new elections must be held within a year". As such, the Traditionalists and Humanists passed an extraordinary election law which placed the new elections within the last month of the year following dissolution, that is at the very end of what the legal window for elections. The same law, through an Ayreonist amendment that was supported by the Traditionalists, lowered the voting age to 16, though candidates needed to be above the age of 18 on the last Election Day.

=== Results ===
In the Senate election, all electors had cast their votes, signifying yet again a 100% turnout. The number of electors had increased by 71 people. Of all ballots, 2 (down from 4 in the last election) were blank ballots.

==== List votes ====
The Traditionalists, previously the largest camp in the Senate, lost one seat, while the Ayreonists and Humanists retained their seats (no losses, no gains). The Traditionalists saw the largest drop in their voter share, by 10 percentage points compared to the last election. 
In this election, two new lists contested the election – the Nativist and the Conservative lists respectively. The Conservatives barely managed to enter the Senate with one elected senator due to the quirks of the apportionment formula. Had the other votes been arranged differently, it is very much possible that the Conservatives would have lost out on a seat by several votes. Had the Senate used the d'Hondt formula instead, the apportionment would be 4 for the Humanists, 3 for the Traditionalists, and 2 for the Ayreonists, with the smaller parties receiving nothing. Ayreonists and Humanists made a modest gain in voter shares, with the Ayreonists outperforming the Humanists.

The second Parlerment elections was held the ninth month of 1695. It was originally scheduled for mid-1696, but the Senate, using an overlooked clause in the Constitution, voted to dissolve its legislative session (but remaining as collective head of state, Supreme Court and caretaker legislature until replaced by an elected Senate). This had the effect that the Assembly of Representatives, to massive protests among the Lake District parties there, too was dissolved.

In the end, no dramatic changes occurred. Daniyal al-Osman, reelected to the Senate, negotiated a coalition majority government with the Edasi Hurmu and Moderate Parties in the Assembly, including a Humanist–Traditionalist coalition in the Senate securing majority. Daniyal al-Osman will announce his second cabinet shortly.

Background

The political crisis began on 24.VII.1694 when the international 1694 Humanist Convention's leadership election was resolved by Senator Daniyal al-Osman, Prime Minister of Hurmu, leader of the Coalition for Democratic Humanism, killing the the Surenshah in a duel, thereby securing the election of Fridwald Peter from Ransenar as head of the international Nationalist and Humanist Party. Lakkvians and Hurmudans were appalled, and Daniyal al-Osman's cabinet saw the mass resignation of its Lake District coalition partners (Koos, Moderates). However, the Lontinian People's Party remained in the coalition. The display of honour of the Prime Minister was extremely well received in Lontinien, and demonstrations broke out the cities of Ghawlama and Khojinacinggha in support of the Prime Minister.

In the Senate, the Humanists were a minority, holding only 3 of 9 seats. The Ayreonists in the Senate called for the resignation of the Prime Minister, and, using the filibuster clauses in the Senate rules, hijacked the Senate agenda by blocking all other items on the agenda. The Traditionalists, while sympathetic and agreeing with the Ayreonist cause in this matter, disagreed with the method. The act of the Ayreonists, the Traditionalists held, was dishonouring the sanctity and unity of the Senate. The Traditionalists invoked clause 78 in the Constitution, whereby the Senate can unilaterally dissolve its legislative session by a vote of more than a two thirds' majority (i.e. 7 votes out of 9), triggering the dissolution of the Assembly of Representatives as well. However, the Senate could not agree, by simple majority, after this act when the new election should be held. It was then found that in clause 148 of the Constitution, that "when the Assembly has been dissolved, new elections must be held within a year". As such, the Traditionalists and Humanists passed an extraordinary election law which placed the new elections within the last month of the year following dissolution, that is at the very end of what the legal window for elections.

Procedure

Nine seats in the Senate, elected by the members of the Order of the Holy Lakes, and 99 seats in the Assembly, elected by persons with legal and permanent residence in Hurmu are up for election. All electors must be at least 18 years of age on the last day of the election. Thus not only citizens of Hurmu are allowed to vote, but legally resident foreigners too. Citizenship is a prerequisite, however, for being a candidate.

Residents in the Lake District will elect 56 members of the Assembly, while residents in Lontinien will elect 42 members. Residents of East Barrow Island will be represented by 1 member. Legal residency is not recognised in the Southern District, and as such, that district will remain outside the remit of the election. Hurmu citizens resident in Seivannavik may vote through their constituency of origin.

Senate election

There are 187 members of the Order of the Holy Lakes who, in 1695, are expected to be eligible to vote in the Senate election in 1696. Only members aged 18 or over (including 17 year olds who will turn 18 during the election year) are allowed to vote.

List votes

The Traditionalists, previously the largest camp in the Senate, lost one seat, while the Ayreonists and Humanists retained their seats (no losses, no gains). The Traditionalists saw the largest drop in their voter share, by 10 percentage points compared to the last election.

In this election, two new lists contested the election – the Nativist and the Conservative lists respectively. The Conservatives barely managed to enter the Senate with one elected senator due to the quirks of the apportionment formula. Had the other votes been arranged differently, it is very much possible that the Conservatives would have lost out on a seat by several votes. Had the Senate used the d'Hondt formula instead, the apportionment would be 4 for the Humanists, 3 for the Traditionalists, and 2 for the Ayreonists, with the smaller parties receiving nothing. Ayreonists and Humanists made a modest gain in voter shares, with the Ayreonists outperforming the Humanists.
