The New Alexandrian general election of 1698 is the second general election of the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie after its formation in 1685 AN. The 1698 general election is scheduled to be held from 13.XV.1698 AN to 15.XV.1698 AN, in line with the Proclamation of Punta Santiago and the laws of Nouvelle Alexandrie.

Background

At the end of the 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 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 Democrático taking turns being President and Vice-President of the Government. Both would exchange roles every AN year, with Strong beginning the rotation.
