The 2023 Rizealand Federation Council elections are planned to be held on Sunday, October 1, 2023, as part of the 2023 Rizealand elections. They will determine the composition of the Federation Council in the 51st Central Assembly and are scheduled to take place in all nine of Rizealand's states as well as the Capital Territory, St. Ellen, and the Onnohou Nation. Of the 38 seats in the Federation Council, 22 seats will be up for election. With 17 seats, the National Progress Coalition, led by Majority Chair Bradley Williamson, currently controls a plurality of the Federation Council's seats and will be defending 11 seats during these elections. The Tripartite Nationalist Coalition, led by Opposition Chair Jordan Watts, controls only 15 seats and willl also be defending 11 of those seats during these elections.

Background

Pursuant to article two of the Rizealand Articles of Federation, members of the Federation Council must be citizens of Rizealand, at least thirty years of age, and residents of Rizealand for the last five years. They must also be residents of the political divisions they represent at the time of their election. While each state is represented by three members of the Federation Council, only two of the three members are elected as the third member is appointed by the state's legislature and serves at the legislature's pleasure. Each territory is only represented by one member of the Federation Council who must be elected. Lastly, each sovereign indigenous nation is also represented by three members of the Federation Council, although the mode of their election is determined by each nation. In 2023, only the Onnohou Nation provided for the popular election of two of its three Federation Council seats. Each elected member of the Federation Council serves a five-year term without any term limits and must be elected by a majority of the popular vote. Although Federation Council elections in Rizealand are typically contested by the two major political coalitions—the National Progress Coalition or NPC and the Tripartite Nationalist Coalition or TNC—the existence of third-party candidates and independent candidates can result in no candidate receiving more than half of the votes cast. As a result, Rizealand election law currently has Federation Council elections organized in a two-round system. Under this system, the first election is held on October 1, 2023, which is a national holiday. If no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast on or before than date, then the two candidates with the highest percentages of the vote advance to a second runoff election which is scheduled for November 5, 2023.

The Federation Election Commission (FEC) is responsible for overseeing all federal elections in Rizealand, including those for Federation Council members in each state, territory, and the Onnohou Nation. However, the process for being listed on the federal election ballot varies by political division. In New Estmere and San Andreas, a nonpartisan blanket primary where all candidates are listed on a single primary ballot is utilized. Under this system, candidates with the top three highest percentages of the vote advance to the general election. In all other political divisions, the process for nominating presidential candidates is utilized. Under this system, Federation Council candidates must submit their applications for candidacy to the FEC by the first day of July during the election year in one of two ways. First, one may be nominated by a national political party registered with the FEC. Second, one may qualify as an independent candidate by providing the signatures equal to ten percent of the number of voters that voted in that political division during the most recent federal election. While independent candidates may begin their campaign at any time, they cannot begin the collection of signatures until the first day of the election year and any signatures collected prior to that date are deemed invalid. The process to be nominated by a political party varies. The NPC and TNC both use a series of primary elections or caucuses to select a nominee that begin in February of the election year and end by April or May. Once a candidate has won a majority of the primary votes or contests, their nomination is made official by the coalition's nominating convention for that political division. Because of the early timeline for primary elections and caucuses, Federation Council candidates typically begin their campaigns a year or more before the actual election year begins.

After being nominated or successfully applying to become an independent candidate, candidates begin their general election campaigns in the summer of the election year which typically involve advertising, campaign rallies, get-out-the-vote drives, and attending a series of televised debates organized by the FEC. Starting on the twentieth day before election day, the FEC mails out ballots to every registered voter in each political division. To have their votes counted, voters must complete the ballots and mail them back by the day prior to election day. Alternatively, voters may visit a polling station on election day where they can cast their vote or turn in their mail ballot. Once the votes are tabulated and certified by the FEC, the winner of the election is announced or a runoff election is scheduled. The FEC also serves as the arbiter of any election disputes and its decisions are directly appealable to the High Court.

In advance of the 2023 Federation Council election, the TNC's National Council decided to cancel all primary elections or caucuses where the incumbent decided to run for reelection. As a result, a total of eleven primaries or caucuses were cancelled for Cahoka, Charlotte, New Caldia, Lyhoming, Providence, and St. Ellen.
