ANGIRISIAN EMPIRE
NATIONAL ELECTION 1584
It is that time again. The great dance of democracy, the day where millions of Angirisians go to their polls to vote for the representatives, senators and Chancellor of the Angirisian Empire. This year, though, the stakes are even higher as they have been for the last four cycles.
Now, three major national bodies are up for grabs between the four major parties. The Senate and the new House of Delegates - now combined in a new Imperial Congress - are complete tossups. Republicans are leading in the race for the Imperial Senate, but the Democrats are holding the line in the race for the Imperial House of Delegates. The Republican candidate for Chancellor, Petri Belisarius, is leading the polls but Democratic candidate Artemis Demetrios and Independent candidate Adrianna Almeda Alva are right on top of him, leaving the probability of a run-off elected ever more likely.
To win the race for the 375-seat House of Delegates, one of the four parties has to attain 188 seats for a majority. The likelihood of that happening doesn't look particularly good, though, so it would come down to some sort of a coalition to form a working majority in the lower house. For the 75-seat Senate as always, it takes 38 seats to win a working majority and that has not happened for nearly a decade. The race for Chancellor can be won with a simple majority, but in the event a simple majority is not attained then the race moves to a runoff round.
So... who will win? We'll find out by the end of this night! Stay tuned.
