Mayoral Elections

  • Mayoral elections take place every three weeks, starting from the time a city hall is placed.
  • 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.

Politician experience

  • 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.
  • Incumbent mayors recieve 750xp weekly.

Election Cycle

  • 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.

New Mayor has Less skills than Old

  • 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.
