Final breakdown:

6 Federalists (Yankee, Thunder, Oakvale, RFayette, AZ, ReaganClinton)
1 Laborite (Illiniwek)
1 Peace (idk what we call ourselves) (Peebs)
1 Citizen (wxtransit)

7-2 right-wing majority (counting Fed and C's as right, Lab and Pax as left, regardless of individual ideology). Press F to pay respects.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

And vote totals by party:

Federalist: 50 (58.14%)
Labor: 16 (18.61%)
Peace: 8 (9.30%)
Citizens: 7 (8.14%)
Independent: 5 (5.81%)

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

Our adjective is Citizens! Like "I'm a Citizen, you're a Laborite, he's a Peacenik(?)"

Citizen was my first thought as well. Glad to get some official confirmation, though.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

Not yet. The only major election I see coming next month is the Southern election, which will start on January 19th and end on the 21st.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

Not yet. The only major election I see coming next month is the Southern election, which will start on January 19th and end on the 21st.

Will Fremont elections also be occurring in January to your knowledge?

If Kamala calls a snap election. If she doesn't, I believe the next election is due in February.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

It will be in January regardless; parliament is up for election every three months, and since the current term began in November, the next elections are slated for January.

Man, I'm going back on the street where things make sense. (Alternatively, could you post a 2018 election calendar in the introduction to Atlasia thread?)

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

Right, I am an idiot. Upon consulting the Constitution, the next election will actually be in February (barring an early election). Now, if you will excuse me, I am late for a course in remedial counting.

Well, that's what I thought.

Note: ReaganClinton has resigned, but it is too late for him to officially drop out.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

President, Round 1:
Fhtagn/PiT (the Physicist) - 47 (43.12%)
Pericles/MikeWells12 - 32 (29.36%)
Spiral/Adam Griffin - 23 (21.10%)
WI: Not_Madigan/Peebs - 4 (3.67%)
Unconfirmed Write-Ins (1 each for Politicalmasta73/PiT (the Physicist), Peebs/HomestarSB9, and Bore (unable to accept)) - 3 total (2.75% total)

All three unconfirmed write-ins are eliminated. No second pref for any of them, so they're all exhausted.

Round 2:
Fhtagn/PiT (the Physicist) - 47 (44.34%)
Pericles/MikeWells12 - 32 (30.19%)
Spiral/Adam Griffin - 23 (21.70%)
WI: Not_Madigan/Peebs - 4 (3.77%)

Madigan is eliminated. Two of his votes go to Pericles, one each go to Fhtagn and Spiral.

Round 3:
Fhtagn/PiT (the Physicist) - 48 (45.28%)
Pericles/MikeWells12 - 34 (32.08%)
Spiral/Adam Griffin - 24 (22.64%)

Spiral is eliminated. 15 of his votes go to Pericles, seven go to Fhtagn, two are exhausted.

Round 4:
Fhtagn/PiT (the Physicist) - 55 (52.88%)
Pericles/MikeWells12 - 49 (47.12%)

Fhtagn has been re-elected to a second full term.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

And House, Round 1:

North Carolina Yankee - 15 (13.76%)
Politicalmasta73 - 13 (11.93%)
Jake Jewvinivisk - 11 (10.09%)
Oakvale - 11 (10.09%)

WI: weatherboy1102 - 11 (10.09%)
wxtransit - 11 (10.09%)
RFayette - 10 (9.17%)
JGibson - 9 (8.26%)
ReaganClinton20XX - 6 (5.50%)
Unconfirmed WI: Not_Madigan - 1 (0.92%)

Seven bolded meet the quota of 11 and are elected. Yankee and Masta are the only ones who have a surplus, which is redistributed.

Round 2:
Note: %ages from here on in are of remaining open vote (so with 7 seats filled, each candidates' votes are divided by 32 (109-77)).
RFayette - 12.7487179487179 (39.84%)
JGibson - 9.46153846153846 (29.57%)
ReaganClinton20XX - 8.06153846153846 (25.19%)
Unconfirmed WI: Not_Madigan - 1 (3.13%)
Exhausted - 0.728205128205128 (2.28%)

RFayette exceeds the quota and is elected. His surplus is redistributed.

Round 3:
Note: With 8 seats filled, each candidates' votes are divided by 21 (109-88).
JGibson - 9.48264125255276 (45.16%)
ReaganClinton20XX - 9.41493079192194 (44.83%)
Unconfirmed WI: Not_Madigan - 1 (4.76%)
Exhausted - 1.1024279555253 (5.25%)

No candidate reaches the quota, so Madigan is eliminated. His one vote is redistributed.

Round 4:
See note for round 3.
ReaganClinton20XX - 10.4149307919219 (49.59%)
JGibson - 9.48264125255276 (45.16%)
Exhausted - 1.1024279555253 (5.25%)

With Reagan having more votes of the two remaining candidates for the one remaining seat, he is elected without a quota.

Federalists - 55 (50.46%) / 5 (55.55%)
Progressives - 20 (18.35%) / 1 (11.11%)
Alliancites - 12 (11.01%) / 1 (11.11%)
Laborites - 11 (10.09%) / 1 (11.11%)
Paxists - 11 (10.09%) / 1 (11.11%)

WAIT WAIT WAIT BUT RCXX IS AN ALLIANCITE NOW. WHERE DOES THAT PUT US?

Good Lord, so he is. I guess that means it's transit's call.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

hold on we are checking the math

The math holds up when reducing to a quota of 10.9.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

President, Round 1:
Fhtagn/PiT (the Physicist) - 47 (44.34%)
Pericles/MikeWells12 - 31 (29.25%)
Spiral/Adam Griffin - 23 (21.70%)
WI: Not_Madigan/Peebs - 3 (2.83%)
WI: LumineVonReuental/Siren - 1 (0.94%)
WI: Tmthforu94/Peebs - 1 (0.94%)

Lumine and Tmth are eliminated. The vote for Lumine goes to Pericles, the vote for Tmth goes to Madigan.

Round 2:
Fhtagn/PiT (the Physicist) - 47 (44.34%)
Pericles/MikeWells12 - 32 (30.19%)
Spiral/Adam Griffin - 23 (21.70%)
WI: Not_Madigan/Peebs - 4 (3.77%)

Madigan is eliminated. Two of his votes go to Pericles, one each go to Fhtagn and Spiral.

Round 3:
Fhtagn/PiT (the Physicist) - 48 (45.28%)
Pericles/MikeWells12 - 34 (32.08%)
Spiral/Adam Griffin - 24 (22.64%)

Spiral is eliminated. 15 of his votes go to Pericles, seven go to Fhtagn, two are exhausted.

Round 4:
Fhtagn/PiT (the Physicist) - 55 (52.88%)
Pericles/MikeWells12 - 49 (47.12%)

Fhtagn has been re-elected to a second full term.

Small correction: Lumine/Siren should have one vote on the first round, as both wrote themselves in for lower preference. Also, I'm fairly certain the three "unconfirmed write-ins" are just exhausted automatically, as those voters in effect did not vote for any candidate.

If that's the case, then Tmthforu94/Peebs also gets a vote in the first round, since I gave that ticket a first pref and Tmth gave it a second. Revised calculations in quote, if it matters.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

If there is a new Federal Electoral act that becomes law (a possibility) will the Department and the Census bureau prepare a communications plan to inform the citizens of the country of the changes so they are aware of the new law?

I suppose I could, if it would set your mind at ease.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.

Objection. The census list states that I am registered as "Mario Party", and has for some time. Given that April Fools' Day was over two weeks ago, I was under the impression that the census was accurate and up to date regarding my registration. If, as you seem to be claiming, it is not, then I hold that I should be allowed additional time to change my registration for the ballot. I am willing to litigate if necessary.

Well, yeah, you can officially change it back within the next couple hours.

[Trans Rights Are Human Rights]

Could someone clarify the IRV rules for me? Specifically, what happens in a two-person race if there is a tie on the first ballot?

I think it depends on the region. Federally, they have a runoff, and if that ends in a tie as well, they split the term. In Lincoln, they just split the term. Not sure for the South and Fremont, though.

Too lazy to give the whole explanation, so here's a neat spreadsheet. Rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Question: what will you do with the House ballot that has two first preferences? Since we cannot read voter's intent for first preference it's like an invalid vote for House I reckon.

Yeah, it's exhausted when two candidates share a preference.

What about that voter who didnt rank their choices, and simply X'd multiple options? I don't remember the username atm.

I believe it would work from the top down (which is how it will be addressed in the calculations in the morning/afternoon). At least, that's what my sources are telling me.
