The '2021 West Miersan presidential election is an election taking place in West Miersa. Taking place on the same day as the 2021 West Miersan parliamentary election, the presidential election is the first presidential election to take place after the passage of the Third Amendment to the West Miersan constitution which made West Miersa a unitary presidential republic as opposed to a federal semi-presidential republic.
(TBC)
Background
As per tradition, elections in West Miersa take place every five years on the first Monday of September. Thus, the date for the 2021 presidential and parliamentary elections takes place on 6 September, 2021.
This election is the first election since 1961 when an incumbent one-term President chose not to run for a second term, as Sylwester Wrzesiński said in his 2021 nativity speech that he would not run for a second term, with Wrzesiński saying that "it is time that Miersa is led by a new generation, one that is young, energetic, and willing to face the challenges that tomorrow has to throw at us, and not be held back by men like myself, who have the potential to hold things back."
Presidential republic
A key issue that emerged was the passage of the Third Amendment to the West Miersan constitution in October which transformed West Miersa into a unitary presidential republic as opposed to a federal semi-presidential republic, and added more appointed seats to the National Assembly to represent the "demographic realities" of the Miersa nation. This was supported by the governing Naprzód, who claimed that the amendment would make the West Miersan government "more representative of what the nation wants" and would "ensure the preservation of majority rule and of Miersan democracy," but was opposed by the Miersan National Party, who saw it as "a naked power-grab to forever entrench Naprzód rule for the next generation" and by the Greens, who said that the amendment forever chained "West Miersa to a new Wojdyla dictatorship, where Naprzód will rule without any genuine opposition for at least the next forty years."
Thus, a presidential republic became a major issue in the campaign, with Zjednoczeni and the Greens supporting repealing the third amendment, and Naprzód and the Agrarians supporting maintaining it.
Zjednoczeni
In response to this, leader of the Miersan National Party Aleksandra Wojdyla called for a "unity front" against Naprzód, with both Nowoczesność and Razem! accepting the offer. Although the Green Party leadership accepted the offer, the Green Party membership rejected it, forestalling Green involvement in the electoral alliance.
On 12 April, 2021, Zjednoczeni was officially established, although as there have been no precedent for electoral alliances, the National Electoral Commission spent several months deciding whether to register Zjednoczeni or not. On 24 June, 2021, they ultimately denied the request to register Zjednoczeni, meaning all Zjednoczeni candidates would be listed as being part of their constituent parties on the ballot. Zjednoczeni did not contest the decision, although it continued to campaign as a united front, with leaders from the three parties appearing side by side at joint conferences.
Malomiersa and East Miersa
On 12 July, 2021, the Lemovician government announced its intention to amend the Lemovician constitution to make the Corridor Security Zone the eighth province of Lemovicia. This was opposed by the West Miersan government, who saw its annexation as a violation of the Arciluco Agreement.

Electoral system
Presidential elections in the Miersan Sotirian Republic are done on the same day as parliamentary elections to the National Assembly. Per the West Miersan constitution, the president "shall be elected from the people of Miersa every five years, with each President to serve no more than two terms." Eligible voters are "all citizens over the age of twenty-one years, who have not been convicted of a crime, shall be eligible to vote in all elections in the Miersan Sotirian Republic."
The President is elected via first past the post, with the candidate with the most votes, even if they fail to get a majority of votes, becomes President of West Miersa.
