The '''2024 [[Zamastan]] presidential election''' will be held on Sunday, 22 September 2024, and will be the upper ring of the 2024 Zamastan general election. It will be the 111th general election and the 114th totaled Presidential election to decide the [[President of Zamastan]]. The nominating process takes place in a series of indirect elections, where voters cast ballots selecting a slate of delegates to a political party's nominating convention who then in turn elected their party's presidential nominee, while independent candidates with sufficient following and campaign contribution also made it onto the ballot.

The 2024 Zamastan presidential election was held on Sunday, 22 September 2024, and was the upper ring of the 2024 Zamastan general election. It was the 111th general election and the 114th totaled Presidential election to decide the President of Zamastan. The nominating process took place in a series of indirect elections, where voters cast ballots selecting a slate of delegates to a political party's nominating convention who then in turn elected their party's presidential nominee, while independent candidates with sufficient following and campaign contribution also made it onto the ballot. The incumbent President, Sabine Armitage of the BCP, is seeking reelection to a second term. The GLP and liberal bloc, as well as some progressive factions, agreed to garner behind a collective candidate to attempt to unseat a conservative president for the first time since 2004. Throughout months of campaigning between Euan Gunn and Arthur Davidson, the latter emerged as the Liberal bloc candidate. However, the Progressive Party opted to nominate their own candidate, Lionel Cellier. The conservative bloc was split between endorsements as well, with the Conservative Capitalists nominating Edmond Passereau, the Christian Union nominating Hudson Richards, and the Libertarians nominating Chelsea Ross.

During the course of the campaign, several scandals emerged in Armitage's administration which impacted her popularity for reelection. On July 20th 2024, ZIS director Adrian Sardou stated the Yuaneze government was attempting to interfere in and influence the election in favor of president Armitage. Secretary of State Chantelle Carson was visiting Shanghan to meet with Premier Liang Cai the same day, and said Liang insisted there was no interference. In September, an invasion of North Kandson by Rettoa and its allies led Congressional Hall to approve military aid packages to North Kandson, but President Armitage vetoed a majority of the supply and ordered Zamastanian forces at Cain Air Base to stand down.

Davidson won a landslide electoral victory, securing 191 districts and roughly 60.5% of the popular vote. Davidson's victory coincided with a massive majority win for the liberal bloc in the 111th congress.

Background

A map of all 305 seats up for grabs in the 2024 election. The candidate that wins the most seats becomes President.

Eligibility

The Constitution of Zamastan gives the qualifications for holding the presidency. To serve as President, one must:

  • be a natural-born citizen of Zamastan
  • be at least 18 years old
  • have not been convicted of a felony
  • have not served any political office in any other nation/sovereign land aside Zamastan
  • have not been impeached from any political office
  • have not sworn a pledge to the state of Zamastan and subsequently rebelled against the state

Campaigns and nominations

The modern presidential campaign begins before the primary elections, which the five major political parties use to clear the field of candidates before their national nominating conventions, where the most successful candidate is made the party's nominee for president. Several nominees, however, have chosen to run aside from political parties. This choice generally makes running for office more difficult for getting exposure, as the political parties' prominence allows for wider name-recognition. This is why most independent nominees tend to be celebrities or household names. For example, president Zacharias Castovia chose not to run along party lines, because his name recognition was enough for people to know who they voted for. The most common previous profession of Zamastanian presidents is that of a lawyer or businessman, as seen with Cain Blackwater's noteriety as an energy tycoon.

Nominees participate in nationally televised debates. Nominees campaign across the country to explain their views, convince voters and solicit contributions. Much of the modern electoral process is concerned with winning swing states through frequent visits and mass media advertising drives.

Election

The president is elected indirectly by the voters of each district through popular election on Election Day (September 22nd on every even-ended year). When each of the 305 districts counts the ballots, whichever candidate has the most votes receives that district's vote. The winner of the election is which ever has the majority of the 305.

Voting polls open at 11:59 PM on September 21st and last 17 hours until 5:00 PM on September 22nd. The counting of votes closes around 7:00 PM, which is also when the victor is announced.
