After a tumultuous five-year term the Chamber of Representatives and the Chamber of Supervisors were dissolved to make way for a new general election. The 1965 election is an oddity in Malgravean history, as the ongoing fighting made direct voting in this region impossible. Instead ballots from internal refugees were assigned to Pakosc and seats were assigned accordingly.

In recent years it has been theorised that some of these ballots were assigned unfairly, however, no proof of these claims has ever surfaced and it is considered to be a conspiracy theory.

Election Issues

Naturally, the then ongoing Battle of Pakosc was a huge talking point of the election campaign, especially, as reports of brutal conditions within the city become known to the general public. A few other concerns about healthcare following the reveal of MIDD a few years earlier popped up alongside potential reforms of the conscription model.

Campaigns

Conservative Campaign

The Conservative Action Party criticised the Technology Party for allowing weakness to grow within the military, and proclaimed that under their leadership the city would be liberated within the next five years.

Johann Leipzig's own service within the military meant that the Conservative Action Party had high credibility here, and too the surprise of many the campaign picked up steam and ended on a high note.

Technology Party

The Technology Party was still undergoing internal transformations following the surprise resignation of Helen Magnus in the aftermath of Operation Swift. It struggled to campaign, and as a result had a very limited chance to connect with voters.

Unity Campaign

The Unity Party accused the Conservative Action Party of being too aggressive on military matters, however, the status of the war and the brutality reported within the city meant that this attack line wasn't popular among all voters.

Still the Unity Party was able to campaign successfully on health issues and continued to gain seats from the Technology Party as a result.
