The '''New Alexandrian general election of 1698''' is the second general election of the [[Nouvelle Alexandrie|Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie]] after its formation in {{AN|1685}}. The 1698 general election was held from 13.XV.{{AN|1698}} to 15.XV.{{AN|1698}}, in line with the [[Proclamation of Punta Santiago]] and the laws of [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]]. With 91,560,093 votes cast, the election had a 62.5% turnout, lower than the [[New Alexandrian general election, 1693|1693 general election]].
The '''New Alexandrian general election of 1703''' is the third general election of the [[Nouvelle Alexandrie|Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie]] after its formation in {{AN|1685}}. The 1703 general election was held from 12.XV.{{AN|1703}} to 14.XV.{{AN|1703}}, in line with the [[Proclamation of Punta Santiago]] and the laws of [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]]. With 130,449,537 votes cast, the election broke records with 79.5% turnout nationally, making it the election with the highest voter turnout in the history of the Federation.


The election resulted in the [[Federal Humanist Party]] securing a majority in the [[Cortes Federales|Federal Assembly]] of 34 seats. The [[Federal Humanist Party]] made a net gain of 48 seats and won 56.6% of the popular vote – the highest percentage for any party since the creation of the Federation in {{AN|1675}}.
Opinion polls had consistently shown the [[Federal Humanist Party]] leading the polls over the [[Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance]]. The [[Federal Humanist Party|Federal Humanist]] lead began to diminish in the final weeks of the campaign. In a surprising result, the [[Federal Humanist Party]] had a net loss of 55 seats, losing its majority in the Federal Assembly. The election resulted in the [[Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance]] securing the most votes and 309 seats in the Federal Assembly, just one seat shy of securing an outright majority with a gain of 75 seats. The election also saw the [[Digger's Society]] lose vote share and seats, plummeting to 4 seats from 15 last election. The Freedom Party fell to 3 seats from 5 in the previous election but saw its share of the vote increased.


The election took place across [[Administrative divisions of Nouvelle Alexandrie|all ten Regions]], each with its own number of seats based on population, under proportional representation.

At the end of the [[New Alexandrian general election, 1693|1693 general election]], the death of Marcel de la Croix and the pronounced disruption this caused on the process of forming a government led to the [[Federal Humanist Party]],[[Cambio_Democratico_(Nouvelle_Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]], and the [[Digger's Society]] forming a Government of National Unity. Soon after the assassination of de la Croix and just several hours before the deadline to form a government passed, [[Augustus Strong]], leader of the [[Federal Humanist Party]] and ''formateur'', announced that agreement on a unity government had been reached. The deal would involve the two largest parties sharing power, with Strong and Santiago Etienne of [[Cambio_Democratico_(Nouvelle_Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]] taking turns being [[Council of State of Nouvelle Alexandrie|President and Vice-President of the Government]]. Both would exchange roles every AN year, with Strong beginning the rotation.
 
In {{AN|1697}}, changes to the active status registration of several political parties that maintained caucuses in the Federal Assembly resulted in the dissolution of several parties, including the second largest party and a member of the Government of National Unity, [[Cambio Democrático (Nouvelle Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]]. This resulted in Deputies that were members of [[Cambio Democrático (Nouvelle Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]] to defect to either the [[Federal Humanist Party]], the successor to the [[Progressive Federalist Party]], the [[Solidarity Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Solidarity Party]], or to the successor of [[Cambio Democrático (Nouvelle Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]], the [[Progressive Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Progressive Party]]. This required the Government of National Unity to reconstitute, this time, replacing [[Cambio Democrático (Nouvelle Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]] with the [[Solidarity Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Solidarity Party]].
 
In the lead up to the general election, negotiations between the [[Solidarity Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Solidarity Party]] and the [[Progressive Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Progressive Party]] led to the founding of a new party, the [[Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance]] (SD&LA). The negotiations were slow and acrimonious at first, but the advance in the polls of the [[Federal Humanist Party]] and its successes in [[Operation Paramount]] and other policy matters prompted both parties to come to an agreement to form a broad big tent coalition of the left in order to be able to compete.


==Dates of the election==
==Dates of the election==
The deadline for final candidate nominations was set for 11.III.{{AN|1698}} with political campaigning to last until the first polling day in 13.XV.{{AN|1698}}. The election was conducted over a period of three days, from 13.XV.{{AN|1698}} to 15.XV.{{AN|1698}}. Results were counted and published by the National Elections Commission on 16.XV.{{AN|1698}}. The three day period of the election was allowed in order to ensure that remote rural and insular areas could have some time to send their results, as well as to allow postal ballots to arrive to their destinations. This was the first election where New Alexandrians were allowed to vote by mail by going to their local polling station, confirming their identity, and picking up a ballot.
===Eligibility to vote===
Individuals eligible to vote had to be registered to vote by midnight on 10.XV.{{AN|1698}}, three days before the first day of polling. This was to allow the National Elections Commission system to electronically confirm the updates to the voter's rolls, confirmed with local and tax records for correct addresses and identities.


To be eligible to vote, individuals were required to be aged 18 or over, be a national of the Federation, and have been a resident in the Region they planned to vote in for at least six months prior to registration.

The [[Federal Humanist Party]] and the [[Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance]] were the two largest political parties heading into the general election. They were both part of the previous Government of National Unity, the latter joining after the dissolution of [[Cambio Democrático (Nouvelle Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]] and the national political realignment of {{AN|1697}}. Out of the two, only the [[Federal Humanist Party]] has occupied the position of largest party in the [[Cortes Federales]] and also occupied the positions of [[Council of State of Nouvelle Alexandrie|President and Vice-President of the Government]].
In {{AN|1697}}, the National Elections Commission announced that, due to inactivity of its leaders and party membership, [[Cambio Democrático (Nouvelle Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]] was losing official recognition as a political party, leading to the dissolution of its parliamentary caucus organization. This led to a national political realignment and changes to the composition of the 1st Cortes Federales. In the [[New Alexandrian general election, 1693|1693 general election]], [[Cambio Democrático (Nouvelle Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]] had secured 162 seats and served as the second largest political party in the Cortes Federales. After its dissolution, the [[Cambio Democrático (Nouvelle Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]] delegation started to either join another political party or remain independent. Four Deputies defected to the [[Federal Humanist Party]], 65 Deputies defected to the [[Solidarity Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Solidarity Party]], with 16 Deputies remaining unaligned. The 61 remaining Deputies decided to create their own political party, intended as a successor to [[Cambio Democrático (Nouvelle Alexandrie)|Cambio Democrático]], called the [[Progressive Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Progressive Party]].
Leading up to the {{AN|1698}} general election, however, a movement called "Unite the Left" came into being when it became clear that neither of the two parties, the [[Solidarity Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Solidarity Party]] and the [[Progressive Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Progressive Party]], were independently capable of defeating the rising [[Federal Humanist Party]]. The objective of the movement was to merge the two parties into a single party (or, if this was not possible, to find a power-sharing arrangement between the two parties). Leaders and party members of both parties negotiated for several weeks and announced their merger and joint candidacy lists two days before candidacies closed for the 1698 general election with the formation of the [[Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance of Nouvelle Alexandrie|Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance]] with [[Robert Beaujolais]] serving as its first leader.

The New Alexandrian general election of 1703 is the third general election of the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie after its formation in 1685 AN. The 1703 general election was held from 12.XV.1703 AN to 14.XV.1703 AN, in line with the Proclamation of Punta Santiago and the laws of Nouvelle Alexandrie. With 130,449,537 votes cast, the election broke records with 79.5% turnout nationally, making it the election with the highest voter turnout in the history of the Federation.

Opinion polls had consistently shown the Federal Humanist Party leading the polls over the Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance. The Federal Humanist lead began to diminish in the final weeks of the campaign. In a surprising result, the Federal Humanist Party had a net loss of 55 seats, losing its majority in the Federal Assembly. The election resulted in the Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance securing the most votes and 309 seats in the Federal Assembly, just one seat shy of securing an outright majority with a gain of 75 seats. The election also saw the Digger's Society lose vote share and seats, plummeting to 4 seats from 15 last election. The Freedom Party fell to 3 seats from 5 in the previous election but saw its share of the vote increased.

The election took place across all ten Regions, each with its own number of seats based on population, under proportional representation.

Eligibility to vote

Opinion polling

Electoral system

Elections in Nouvelle Alexandrie are conducted region by region through proportional representation. Voters then choose from the parties on the ballot or have the option to vote for a slate of independent candidates. Seats are apportioned to each region using the Sainte-Laguë method, a highest quotient method for allocating seats in party-list proportional representation. In Nouvelle Alexandrie, the thresholds for a party to get seats in a region is set to 2%. This election would be the last election where seats would be apportioned in accordance to the census conducted in 1693 AN, just before the 1693 general election.
