1718 Hurmu general elections
Hurmu's sixth Parlerment elections were held during the twelfth month of 1712. The previous elections occurred in 1712. The next elections are scheduled for 1724
Procedure
Eighteen 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 were up for election. All electors had to be at least 18 years of age on the last day of the election. Thus not only citizens of Hurmu were allowed to vote, but legally resident foreigners too. Citizenship was a prerequisite, however, for being a candidate.
Residents in the Lake District elected 20 members of the Assembly, while residents in Lontinien elected 19 members, and Rekozemlje 21 members. Residents of Amaland will be represented by 7 members, and residents of Karnamark by 4. Al-Khadra District elected 20 representatves, Transprinitica will be represented by 6 members, and residents of the Samhold Island and Moorland will each be represented by 1 member. Legal residency is not recognised in the Southern District, and as such, that district remained outside the remit of the election. Hurmu citizens resident the Southern District or in Eesdeheito, as well as Hurmu citizens living abroad, voted through their constituency of origin. Citizens who were members of the Order of the Holy Lakes did not vote in Assembly elections but in the Senate election.
The constitution of Hurmu allows for referendums to be held at the same time. Such referendums are binding and require the majority of electors to the Senate to be in favour in order to be binding upon the state institutions of Hurmu, for example amending the constitution or adopting legislation. Another option is for the Electorate through voting in the affirmative or negative to a question bind the Senate to introduce or not to introduce legislation on a specific matter. No provision in the constitution allows for country-wide referendums for Assembly voters.
Senate elections
In this Senate election, the adult members of the Order of the Holy Lakes, who during the year 1718 will reach an age of 18 or more, were electors. There were 1209 electors registered to vote. The electors elected 18 members through electoral lists, apportioned by proportional representation.

Answer | Votes | Percentage of voters | Percentage of electors |
---|---|---|---|
Yes | 573 | 49.31% | 47.47% |
No | 586 | 50.43% | 48.55% |

Assembly elections
Hurmu residents in the States and districts of Hurmu, as well as Hurmu citizens living abroad, may vote in the election to the Assembly of Representatives, provided they are above the age of 18 (or will turn 18 during the year of the election), and are not members of the Order of the Holy Lakes (in which case they will vote in the Senate election).
Residents in the Lake District elected 20 members of the Assembly, while residents in Lontinien elected 19 members, and Rekozemlje 21 members. Residents of Amaland will be represented by 7 members, and residents of Karnamark by 4. Al-Khadra District elected 20 representatives, Transprinitica was to be represented by 6 members, and residents of the Samhold Island by 1 member. Legal residency is not recognised in the Southern District, and as such, that district remained outside the remit of the election. Hurmu citizens resident the Southern District or in Eesdeheito, as well as Hurmu citizens living abroad, voted through their constituency of origin. Citizens who were members of the Order of the Holy Lakes did not vote in Assembly elections but in the Senate election.
Due to the situation in Moorland, the Assembly election there (Moorland was due to elect 1 representative) was on hold until the situation had calmed down. Senate elections were, however, held due to special implementations in place along with the low number of electors resident in the area.

Results
The results from the election were radical and changed the political landscape completely. The Social Democrats, in coalition with the Communists, experienced a landslide swing in their favour. With the support of the Hizb ul-ʿUmrāti ul-Hurmu, they would have a majority government, of which the HUHU had already been promised a part.
The government parties fell 22 percentage points (or 22 seats). Blue Skies and the Post-Verionist Movement both lost their Assembly representation.
