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.
