Elections

Timing of Elections

Prime Minister: 4 years during general election
People's House: 4 years with general election (mps can be appointed or replaced by parties at any time)
Senate: Every 4 years during general elections with some Khaet having their elections more frequently

Process of Elections

Voting is typically held for a 48 hour period on December 20th and December 21st of the year for nation wide elections and the two days are national holidays with work and school canceled. Polling can occur at any government building including public schools where people will be presented with a ballot after verifying their ID where they will be able to vote for all relevant positions and items being voted on for that election. All polling locations are by law required to provide security and confidentiality for all voters voting there and their votes. The Vote counting is to be carried out in each Krong and its surrounding area before being sent to Khaet governments to be compiled and finally to the Tikrongmeas Election Agency for fair impartial vote counting with victors announced on the 2nd of January and sworn in the 5th. During the whole vote counting procedures observers are encouraged and required to watch the counting to ensure a fair count at every level and if any foul play is discovered in the counting or election process the guilty party can expect a sentence of up to 2 years in Nokor prison with a ᕋ5,000 fine and the votes that have been rendered invalid will be recounted and if necessary the citizens and permanent residents of the area affected will be invited to participate in a second vote.

Early Voting

Ever since the 1987 Electoral Delay Act citizens who know they will be unable to participate within the scheduled 2 day election period for whatever reason are permitted to submit their ballots by mail to their local town hall 1 month in advance of the election by requesting a ballot typically online when registering to vote with their national ID card.

Eligibility

All citizens of the 3rd Nokor of Prei Meas over the age of 18 has the right to participate in all elections Nokor wide and local at any level and all full time residents provided they have their primary residence in Prei Meas and they spend at least 10 out of 12 of the months of the year living and working in Prei Meas (see FNCR laws and Election Laws).

The People's House is the lower house of Prei Meas with 497 seats elected proportionally by the population who vote directly for parties which appoint the members instead of the people individually voting for members.

Seats in the People's House of Prei Meas

Unlike the Senate the People's House's seats are not dependent on location of the electors nor are the members of the People's House elected. Instead parties are directly elected by the populace in the elections and the parties appoint members to their elected seats and can appoint or replace their members in the seats at any time. Some parties even have party elections following the People's house elections within their party of who they will appoint while other parties have different systems.
