===Electoral system===
Since 2004, Seketan has used a mixed voting system to elect members to the [[Commons Council]]. 193 of seats are elected from single-member districts using {{wp|First-past-the-post voting}} (district seats), and 100 seats are elected from at-large provincial constituencies using {{wp|Closed list|close}} {{wp|Party-list proportional representation}} (provincial seats). Unlike other mixed systems like in {{wp|National Assembly (South Korea)#Election|South Korea}} or {{wp|Verkhovna Rada#Elections|Ukraine}}, voters cast a single vote for their district seat, with their chosen candidates party affiliation being counted for the provincial seat. Both district and provincial seats are allocated to the provinces by population as such below.

CNy leader Cjetor Tams made tackling corruption a key policy initiative. He has proposed the creation of an "anti-corruption task force" with the power to reprimand politicians and corporations caught engaging in corruption, though critics have pointed out that this would just be a duplicate of Seketan's current anti-corruption watchdog. In SY's policy release, they pledged to implement the [[Nelborne Union]]'s anti-corruption guidelines, including reforming Seketans corporate registration system, mandating regulators sit in on meetings with industry, and increasing funding to Seketan's watchdog. Prime Minister Brasa pledged to continue his plan to eliminate corruption and boasted his personal avoidance of meeting with any business leaders during his term in office, though the [[Conelibek News]] fact-checked this claim, listing at least 4 times Brasa had met with industry during his term.

The Next Seketese general election will take place on or before 31 March 2023, to elect members of the Commons Council of the Hérvynsken.

Background

Electoral system

Since 2004, Seketan has used a mixed voting system to elect members to the Commons Council. 193 of seats are elected from single-member districts using First-past-the-post voting (district seats), and 100 seats are elected from at-large provincial constituencies using close Party-list proportional representation (provincial seats). Unlike other mixed systems like in South Korea or Ukraine, voters cast a single vote for their district seat, with their chosen candidates party affiliation being counted for the provincial seat. Both district and provincial seats are allocated to the provinces by population as such below.

Issues

Corruption

A primary concern during the campaign is the increase of perceived corruption in the Seketese government, brought to light by back-to-back relegations of Seketan's "safety in business" rating by the EU in 2022 and 2023. Prime Minister Brasa had campaigned in 2021 on eliminating corruption, but critics have noted the lack of any real plans or legislative initiatives undertaken towards hindering corruption.

CNy leader Cjetor Tams made tackling corruption a key policy initiative. He has proposed the creation of an "anti-corruption task force" with the power to reprimand politicians and corporations caught engaging in corruption, though critics have pointed out that this would just be a duplicate of Seketan's current anti-corruption watchdog. In SY's policy release, they pledged to implement the Nelborne Union's anti-corruption guidelines, including reforming Seketans corporate registration system, mandating regulators sit in on meetings with industry, and increasing funding to Seketan's watchdog. Prime Minister Brasa pledged to continue his plan to eliminate corruption and boasted his personal avoidance of meeting with any business leaders during his term in office, though the Conelibek News fact-checked this claim, listing at least 4 times Brasa had met with industry during his term.

Nelborne Unity

The issue of Seketan's place within the Nelborne and the Nelborne Union is a major discussion amoungst political parties. Seketan is a founding member of the Nelborne Union and is regarded as a key piece of its existance. Opposition to Seketan's involvement in the Nelborne Union started to grow after the 2014 election, with noted Nelbornsceptic John Geosan becoming CNy leader in Septermber 2014 and the party winning back support in the 2017 election. The parties next leader, Simone Laphjen, despite previously being a noted Nelbornsceptic, took a neutral stance, leading to support being bled to the far-right and anti-Nelborne Union Party of Seketan in 2021 election. Then elected Prime Minister Brasa also spoke out against the Nelborne Union calling it "pencil pusher hell", though not directly calling for Seketan's withdrawl. Proponents of the Nelborne Union saw Brasa's election victory as a potential end or retraction from the Nelborne Union, but during Brasa's term he has enacted no measures to do anything of the sort.

The major parties position on the issue of Nelborne Unity is as follows
