The 1716 AN Vegno Elections will be the fourth ever general elections of the Republic of Vegno and will see the election of the President of the Republic of Vegno and the composition of the Parliament, the Assemblea Nazionale.
The Parliament will meet for the first session of the fourth legislature on early 1717 AN. Following the constitutional reform approved in 1708 by the Mancuso I Cabinet, each legislature will last five years.
As the General Election of Vegno, population will vote both for the President of the Republic, with the two most voted candidates accessing the final ballot a week after, and for the composition of the Parliament, which will reflect the formation of the new government.
For the first time in the history of the Republic, these will be the first anticipated election before the natural term, following the resignment of the President Luca Zarrella and the dissolution of the Parliament due to the 1716 Vegno Political Scandal.
Voting system
The electoral law in force is the "Rinaldellum", which regulated the previous elections of 1709 and provides for a mixed electoral system, where:
- 81,33% of the seats (122 of 150 in the Assemblea Nazionale) are assigned through the proportional system in multi-member constituencies on the basis of blocked lists; the allocation of seats is carried out at regional levels.
- 18,66% of the seats (28 of 150) are assigned with a single-round majority system (2 seats for the two most voted party in each single region;
In accordance with the Constitution, modified by the Mancuso I Cabinet 150 deputies are elected. Furthermore, the composition of the parliament and the mandate of President of the Republic will now last for five years instead of three.
The voting paper, which is a single one for the majority and the proportional systems, shows the names of the candidates to single-member constituencies and in close conjunction with them the symbols of the linked lists for the proportional part, each one with a list of the relative candidates. The voter is able to cast their vote in three different ways, among them:
- Drawing a sign on the symbol of a list. In this case, the vote extends to the candidate in the single-member constituency that is supported by that list.
- Drawing a sign on the name of the candidate of the single-member constituency and another one on the symbol of one list that supports them; the result is the same as that described above. Under penalty of annullment, the panachage is not allowed, so the voter cannot vote simultaneously for a candidate in the uninominal constituency and for a list which is not linked to them.
- Drawing a sign only on the name of the candidate for the uninominal constituency, without indicating any list. In this case, the vote is valid for the candidate in the single-member constituency and also automatically extended to the list that supports them; however, if that candidate is connected to several lists, the vote is divided proportionally between them, based on the votes that each one has obtained in that constituency.
Background
For the first time in history, the third legislature lasted only two years due to the 1716 Vegno Political Scandal, which involved the majority parties and their leaders. This resulted in the resignation of most deputies and the subsequent dissolution of the national assembly. The former majority parties, Forza Vegno, PDC and especially the PPV, lost considerable support and, although Luca Zarrella and Antonio Visciglia were totally acquitted, this had a considerable influence on their popularity.
According to the polls, the clear favorite of these elections is the PNV, which after their protests against the old majority parties, achieved considerable consensus among the people disappointed by the work of Mancuso and the PPV.
