The 1912 Central Shaneville Presidential election was held in October 1912.

This election was the first election in Central Shaneville history: Central Shaneville was a very late addition to the "federal" system, adopting it in 1910 following hundreds of years with a Governor as its leader, a parliament building was built in Shaneville City with a "House of Commons" being built in the city of Ajaccio.

Despite the formation of the original parliament in 1910, it wasn't until the start of 1912 when the idea of political parties or Presidents first came to light as the nation had just become independent following its recognition by the international community in 1911.

The founding members of the Central Shaneville Parliament passed "The Dominion Act" in 1911 which made Central Shaneville a federal nation, it was decided that its parliament and future elections would use the first past the post system and would be based off the North American federal election system used in the dominion's of that continent.

In 1912 "The Election Act" was passed meaning the first president would be chosen in October that year with three parties being formed because of this news: the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party and the Anti-confederate party which was a party opposing the new federal government system of the island nation, from this point on parties would become a huge factor in the politics of the nation as in some cases several different parties would be formed for particular elections and there were usually coalitions to get the numbers needed.

The Election Act also split the island nation into several "electoral districts" with the 1912 presidential election having 180 seats to create the first official Central Shaneville parliament.

Stories of the Election

The campaigns themselves were set for 49 days with both debates being won by Jack Dunn, also on the campaign trail the Conservatives under Henry Hite proved himself to be popular with many of his speeches attacking the policies of Jack Dunn as well as overall support for the opposition.

Elsewhere Edgar Wolford and the Anti-Confederates continued to get verbally attacked wherever they went with most people seemingly not wanting to hear their opinions on the future of the nation.

Both Conservative and Liberal parties had endorsements from members of parliaments as well as abroad meaning both parties had not only major endorsement support but also major government support, this was something that was new to the nation as it was the first election in the nation's history.

The Conservatives released the first attack campaign in Central Shaneville history on Jack Dunn and the Liberals calling them corrupt and just as bad as the Anti-Confederates.

The controversy of this election was the fact that Parliament passed a vote increasing land prices for farmers, this had a major impact on the election as it helped the Conservative Party who released another attack campaign accusing the Liberals of passing the law even though it is unclear who actually passed the vote.
