Mayoral elections take place every three weeks, starting from the time a city hall is placed. or example, if your election ends in the first week of the month your next election will not end until the 4th week of the month. At the city voting terminal located inside city hall, citizens can vote for registered candidates; the radial menu option "Vote for Mayor" will provide a list of all registered candidates. A citizen may change their vote at any time during the three-week cycle or may choose to abstain. Any citizen with a minimum of Novice Politician may register to run during the first two weeks of the voting cycle only (an e-mail will be sent to all citizens informing them of a new candidate). Registered candidates may unregister as well to withdraw from the election. The existing Mayor must register in order to run in the election. At the end of the three week cycle, the candidate with the most votes wins the election and becomes Mayor. Uncast votes count as abstentions. When a new Mayor is elected, the old Mayor loses all mayoral powers.

== SUI Prompts ==
  
A: Simply: by getting citizens to vote for them. For every vote, a Politician receives 300xp that is granted at the end of a city's three-week voting cycle (for example, if your election cycle ends in the first week of the month your next election will not end until the 4th week of the month). In addition, incumbent mayors recieve 750xp weekly. You can check the standings of the election at any time by using the voting terminal located in the main room of city hall.

Q: When does the election cycle end? How do I find out when my election cycle ends?
 
  
A: The election cycle ends every third week at the time of the city update. There is no way to tell from the terminal itself what week of the election you are in. The only real way to know is to keep track of when the last election ended and count forward three cycles from then. If it is the first election for the city, the election will take place during the third cycle after your city was founded.

Mayoral elections take place every three weeks, starting from the time a city hall is placed. Elections are cast through a ballot using a City Voting Terminal that is set inside the City Hall.

A: Absolutely nothing. Politician skill is used to place structures and is not required to maintain structures. Structures and specializations are reliant on the city rank to continue to operate.

At the city voting terminal located inside city hall, citizens can vote for registered candidates; the radial menu option "Vote for Mayor" will provide a list of all registered candidates. A citizen may change their vote at any time during the three-week cycle or may choose to abstain.

Registered candidates may unregister as well to withdraw from the election. The existing Mayor must register in order to run in the election. At the end of the three week cycle, the candidate with the most votes wins the election and becomes Mayor. Uncast votes count as abstentions.
