The '''2013 Tevitheimer Grand Chancellery Election''' was the ninth sext ennial grand chancellery election in [[Tevitheim]]. The election consisted of two rounds. The first, held on 6 August, saw a total of six major candidates garner electoral votes. As no candidate garnered a majority of electoral votes required, a runoff election would be held among the top two tickets; incumbent grand chancellor [[Aud Raimundo]] and vice chancellor [[Mikkel Landser]] and former [[Chancellor for Foreign Affairs]] from [[Jomfra]] [[Hans Svendsgård]] and ''Alnatingsrepresentant'' [[Johan Syrstad]] of [[Eldegard]] on 27 August. Raimundo and Landser would win the election by a landslide.
The '''2013 Tevitheimer''' '''grand chancellery election''' was the ninth sextennial grand chancellery election in [[Tevitheim]]. The election consisted of two rounds. The first, held on 4 February, saw a total of six major candidates garner electoral votes. As no candidate garnered a majority of electoral votes required, a runoff election would be held among the top two tickets; incumbent grand chancellor [[Aud Raimundo]] and vice chancellor [[Mikkel Landser]] and former [[Chancellor for Foreign Affairs]] from [[Jomfra]] [[Hans Svendsgård]] and ''Alnatingsrepresentant'' [[Johan Syrstad]] of [[Eldegard]] on 25 February. Raimundo and Landser would win the election by a landslide, the first election with a proportional first round.


Raimundo had been serving as [[President of the Alnating]] during the [[Olaf Duraksen|Duraksen]] chancellery through the course of the [[Republican Party Vote Buying Scandal|vote-buying scandal]] that led to the removal of Duraksen from office on 11 July 2012. As Vice Chancellor [[Teo Norens]] had had resigned from office due to health reasons in May the grand chancellery passed to the next in the line of succession, Raimundo. As Raimundo had served less than 3 years of Duraksen's term, she was eligible to run for a full term in her own right. This makes Raimundo one of the only two incumbent grand chancellors to ever be eligible to run while in office, alongside [[Wade Mannerheim]], though Mannerheim refused to run.

As Vice Chancellor [[Teo Norens]] had had resigned from office due to health reasons in May the grand chancellery passed to the next in the line of succession, Raimundo. As Raimundo had served less than 2 years of Duraksen's term, she was eligible to run for a full term in her own right. This makes Raimundo one of the only two incumbent grand chancellors to ever be eligible to run while in office, alongside [[Wade Mannerheim]], though Mannerheim refused to run.  


In the first round no candidate took a majority of electoral votes. Raimundo came in first place with 117 electoral votes and 28.6% of the popular vote. Social Union candidate Hans Svendsgård took 109 votes and 26.3%, Republican [[Kerry O'Key]] took 84 votes and 20.0% of the vote, Liberal Democrat [[Markus Milsersen]] took 71 votes and 17.2%, National [[Jens Larssen]] received 14 votes and 3.3%, and finally Worker's nominee [[Hortik Ulcher]] took 13 votes and 2.8% of the popular vote. As no candidate received the 205 electoral votes required for victory the two top candidates, Raimundo and Svendsgård, advanced to the second round.

As no candidate received the 205 electoral votes required for victory the two top candidates, Raimundo and Svendsgård, advanced to the second round.


In the second round Raimundo would win by a landslide, receiving 291 electoral votes and 55.3% of the popular vote, beating Svendsgård by a margin of 10.6%, or 11.6 million votes. This marks the only electoral victory by a party not the Social Union or Republicans in a general election (though Liberal Democratic candidate [[Paal Zhang]] won the [[2001 Tevitheimer Grand Chancellery Election|2001 election]] in the contingent election). Despite hopes of the Progressive-Greens supplanting the Republicans as the primary left-wing party in Tevitheim, the Progressive-Greens would lose their Alnating majority by 2016.
Buoyed by a recovering economy, the perceived extremism of Svendsgård, and a promise to return to normalcy, Raimundo would win the second round in a landslide, receiving 291 electoral votes and 55.02% of the popular vote, beating Svendsgård by a margin of 10.5%, or 11.6 million votes. This marks the only electoral victory by a party not the Social Union or Republicans in a general election (though Liberal Democratic candidate [[Paal Zhang]] won the [[2001 Tevitheimer Grand Chancellery Election|2001 election]] in the contingent election). Despite hopes of the Progressive-Greens supplanting the Republicans as the primary left-wing party in Tevitheim, the Progressive-Greens would lose their Alnating majority by 2016.


=Electoral System=
=Electoral System=
Under Article 2 of the Constitution of Tevitheim, the grand chancellor is elected to a six-year term in an indirect election. Voters vote for slates of electors, who then elect the grand chancellor. Electors are distributed by population, with the smallest jarldom receiving three votes and all others receiving votes in proportion to their relative populations compared to the smallest jarldom. In 2019 the smallest jarldom were the combined Territories, which received three votes. The largest was Hellighjerte, which received 54 votes.

In 2019 the smallest jarldom were the combined Territories, which received three votes. The largest was Hellighjerte, which received 54 votes.


If no candidate secures an absolute majority of electoral votes in the first round, a second round is held three weeks later between the two candidates who received the most votes. According to the Constitution of Tevitheim, the first round of the grand chancellery election must be held on the first Tuesday of August, with the second round to be held exactly three weeks later. The winner of the election then takes office the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November, giving roughly two months for a candidate to negotiate coalitions and prepare to assume office.
If no candidate secures an absolute majority of electoral votes in the first round, a second round is held three weeks later between the two candidates who received the most votes. According to the Constitution of Tevitheim, the first round of the grand chancellery election must be held on the first Monday of February, with the second round to be held exactly three weeks later. The winner of the election then takes office six weeks later in early April, giving roughly one and a half months for a candidate to negotiate coalitions and prepare to assume office.


Electoral votes are distributed through a wide variety of methods in the first round, but due to Tevitheim's fractured political stage it is unlikely any candidate secures a first round victory in most elections. The second round is distributed winner-take-all per each jarldom. However, after the [[2001 Tevitheimer Grand Chancellery Election|2001 election]] saw [[Aleksander Goreson]] win the grand chancellery despite [[Jonas Støre]] winning the popular vote, several jarldoms have agreed to distribute their electors to the winner of the national popular vote. A total of six jarldoms had signed on by 2013 and had a collective bloc of 204 votes. While this technically allowed for a tie election in the electoral college, the fractured political scene of Tevitheim all but ensured that the winner of the popular vote would win the grand chancellery. However, due to Raimundo's overwhelming victory, no jarldoms that were a part of the agreement were won by Svendsgård.

===Republican Nomination===
===Republican Nomination===
The Republican nomination was widely considered a death sentence due to the popularity of Raimundo effectively ensuring that the Republican candidate would be eliminated in the first round, the first time a Republican finished outside the top two in history. The final nomination ballot came down to former commerce chancellor [[Kerry O'Key]], ''Alnatingsrepresentant'' from [[Nellsheim]] [[Justin Case]], and Grand Chancellor of [[Prospekt]] [[Sal Monella]]. In order to try and distance the party from the disasterous [[Olaf Duraksen|Duraksen]] administration, O'Key,  a member of Duraksen's cabinet who resigned during the beginning of Duraksen's scandals and became an opponent of Duraksen, was nominated for grand chancellor after O'Key would select [[Sal Monella]], governor of [[Ilbahar]], for vice chancellor in exchange for Monella's support, and was nominated on the third ballot.

O'Key's campaign would be criticized as being more of a farewell tour than a true campaign, due to the lackluster events and concentration on down-ballot races.

===Liberal Democratic Nomination===
The Liberal Democratic nomination was heavily contested, with four major candidates standing for election: ''Alnatingsrepresentant'' from Eldegard Nicholas Kerr;  ''Alnatingsrepresentant'' from Rookeryet Nicholas Digger; Chancellor for Defense Affairs of Søndaga Aud Maristad; and former Ambassador to China Kristoff Frihto of Devold.
Per Liberal Democratic rules, candidates were eliminated over several rounds until two candidates remained, with the candidate with the higher total number of votes being nominated for grand chancellor and second place being nominated for vice chancellor. This resulted in Kerr and Digger winning the nomination, despite a brief boost from Maristad.

===National Nomination===
In just the second ever nomination convention by the National Party, party founder and leaders [[Jens Larssen]] was nominated for grand chancellor. Larssen would select Erwin Romneysen, a far-right ''Alnatingsrepresentant'' from Ilbahar, as his running mate. Larssen's choice was widely considered a poor move, as it reinforced public perception of the Nationals as far-right and unfit. After public comments which deningrated intermarriage between Oceanians and Tronder, the Social Union and Liberal Democratic Party issued a joint statement reaffirming their {{wp|Cordon sanitaire (politics)|cordon sanitaire}} on the Nationals.

==Interround Endorsements==
==Interround Endorsements==
As a major part of Tevitheimer elections includes interround endorsements, they are highly sought after by the surviving candidates.
O'Key endorsed Raimundo, appearing in a joint rally shortly before the election. Similarily, Kerr endorsed Svendsgård in a letter published in several newspapers (though Kerr declined to rally with Svendsgård). Kerr's endorsement, much quieter and less publicized than expected, is thought to have contributed to Raimundo's landslide, as close to half of Kerr voters voted for Raimundo despite his endorsement of Svendsgård. National candidate Jens Larssen publicly criticized Raimundo and told his voters to oppose her election, but did not explicitly endorse Svendsgård. Worker's Party nominee Ulcher continued his party's policy of refusing to endorse candidates who did not come out against capitalism and in support of the redistribution of wealth. However, many Ulcher voters still voted for Raimundo in the second round.

The 2013 Tevitheimer grand chancellery election was the ninth sextennial grand chancellery election in Tevitheim. The election consisted of two rounds. The first, held on 4 February, saw a total of six major candidates garner electoral votes. As no candidate garnered a majority of electoral votes required, a runoff election would be held among the top two tickets; incumbent grand chancellor Aud Raimundo and vice chancellor Mikkel Landser and former Chancellor for Foreign Affairs from Jomfra Hans Svendsgård and Alnatingsrepresentant Johan Syrstad of Eldegard on 25 February. Raimundo and Landser would win the election by a landslide, the first election with a proportional first round.

Raimundo had been serving as President of the Alnating during the Duraksen chancellery through the course of the vote-buying scandal that led to the removal of Duraksen from office on 11 July 2012. As Vice Chancellor Teo Norens had had resigned from office due to health reasons in May the grand chancellery passed to the next in the line of succession, Raimundo. As Raimundo had served less than 2 years of Duraksen's term, she was eligible to run for a full term in her own right. This makes Raimundo one of the only two incumbent grand chancellors to ever be eligible to run while in office, alongside Wade Mannerheim, though Mannerheim refused to run.

In the first round no candidate took a majority of electoral votes. Raimundo came in first place with 117 electoral votes and 28.6% of the popular vote. Social Union candidate Hans Svendsgård took 109 votes and 26.3%, Republican Kerry O'Key took 84 votes and 20.0% of the vote, Liberal Democrat Nicholas Kerr took 71 votes and 17.2%, National Jens Larssen received 14 votes and 3.3%, and finally Worker's nominee Hortik Ulcher took 13 votes and 2.8% of the popular vote. As no candidate received the 205 electoral votes required for victory the two top candidates, Raimundo and Svendsgård, advanced to the second round.

Buoyed by a recovering economy, the perceived extremism of Svendsgård, and a promise to return to normalcy, Raimundo would win the second round in a landslide, receiving 291 electoral votes and 55.02% of the popular vote, beating Svendsgård by a margin of 10.5%, or 11.6 million votes. This marks the only electoral victory by a party not the Social Union or Republicans in a general election (though Liberal Democratic candidate Paal Zhang won the 2001 election in the contingent election). Despite hopes of the Progressive-Greens supplanting the Republicans as the primary left-wing party in Tevitheim, the Progressive-Greens would lose their Alnating majority by 2016.

Electoral System

Under Article 2 of the Constitution of Tevitheim, the grand chancellor is elected to a six-year term in an indirect election. Voters vote for slates of electors, who then elect the grand chancellor. Electors are distributed by population, with the smallest jarldom receiving three votes and all others receiving votes in proportion to their relative populations compared to the smallest jarldom. In 2019 the smallest jarldom were the combined Territories, which received three votes. The largest was Hellighjerte, which received 54 votes.

If no candidate secures an absolute majority of electoral votes in the first round, a second round is held three weeks later between the two candidates who received the most votes. According to the Constitution of Tevitheim, the first round of the grand chancellery election must be held on the first Monday of February, with the second round to be held exactly three weeks later. The winner of the election then takes office six weeks later in early April, giving roughly one and a half months for a candidate to negotiate coalitions and prepare to assume office.

Electoral votes are distributed through a wide variety of methods in the first round, but due to Tevitheim's fractured political stage it is unlikely any candidate secures a first round victory in most elections. The second round is distributed winner-take-all per each jarldom. However, after the 1995 election saw Aleksander Goreson win the grand chancellery despite Jonas Støre winning the popular vote, several jarldoms have agreed to distribute their electors to the winner of the national popular vote. A total of six jarldoms had signed on by 2013 and had a collective bloc of 204 votes. While this technically allowed for a tie election in the electoral college, the fractured political scene of Tevitheim all but ensured that the winner of the popular vote would win the grand chancellery. However, due to Raimundo's overwhelming victory, no jarldoms that were a part of the agreement were won by Svendsgård.

Social Union Nomination

The 27-31 May convention in Alna is considered one of the most bitter in recent history for the Social Union. The party's socially conservative northern faction and economically-concerned western and southern faction openly expressed their contempt for each other. Southern candidate and moderate Kristian Chamberlain was loudly booed when she came to the podium for her speech; a speech in which she criticized the party's conservatives, which led many pro-Svendsgård delegates in the galleries to yell and scream at her. A group of moderates tried to rally behind Jessika Roswall, who was palatable to both conservatives and moderates, but Svendsgård's delegates managed to push Svendsgård's nomination on the first ballot. Svendsgård would go on to pick the little-known Alantingsrepresentant Johan Syrstad as vice chancellor.

Following the convention many moderates including Chamberlain refused to endorse Svendsgård.

Republican Nomination

The Republican nomination was widely considered a death sentence due to the popularity of Raimundo effectively ensuring that the Republican candidate would be eliminated in the first round, the first time a Republican finished outside the top two in history. The final nomination ballot came down to former commerce chancellor Kerry O'Key, Alnatingsrepresentant from Nellsheim Justin Case, and Grand Chancellor of Prospekt Sal Monella. In order to try and distance the party from the disasterous Duraksen administration, O'Key, a member of Duraksen's cabinet who resigned during the beginning of Duraksen's scandals and became an opponent of Duraksen, was nominated for grand chancellor after O'Key would select Sal Monella, for vice chancellor in exchange for Monella's support, and was nominated on the third ballot.

O'Key's campaign would be criticized as being more of a farewell tour than a true campaign, due to the lackluster events and concentration on down-ballot races.

Liberal Democratic Nomination

The Liberal Democratic nomination was heavily contested, with four major candidates standing for election: Alnatingsrepresentant from Eldegard Nicholas Kerr; Alnatingsrepresentant from Rookeryet Nicholas Digger; Chancellor for Defense Affairs of Søndaga Aud Maristad; and former Ambassador to China Kristoff Frihto of Devold.

Per Liberal Democratic rules, candidates were eliminated over several rounds until two candidates remained, with the candidate with the higher total number of votes being nominated for grand chancellor and second place being nominated for vice chancellor. This resulted in Kerr and Digger winning the nomination, despite a brief boost from Maristad.

National Nomination

In the first ever grand chancellery nomination convention by the National Party, party founder and leaders Jens Larssen was nominated for grand chancellor. Larssen would select Erwin Romneysen, a far-right Alnatingsrepresentant from Ilbahar, as his running mate. Larssen's choice was widely considered a poor move, as it reinforced public perception of the Nationals as far-right and unfit. After public comments which deningrated intermarriage between Oceanians and Tronder, the Social Union and Liberal Democratic Party issued a joint statement reaffirming their cordon sanitaire on the Nationals.

Interround Endorsements

As a major part of Tevitheimer elections includes interround endorsements, they are highly sought after by the surviving candidates.

O'Key endorsed Raimundo, appearing in a joint rally shortly before the election. Similarily, Kerr endorsed Svendsgård in a letter published in several newspapers (though Kerr declined to rally with Svendsgård). Kerr's endorsement, much quieter and less publicized than expected, is thought to have contributed to Raimundo's landslide, as close to half of Kerr voters voted for Raimundo despite his endorsement of Svendsgård. National candidate Jens Larssen publicly criticized Raimundo and told his voters to oppose her election, but did not explicitly endorse Svendsgård. Worker's Party nominee Ulcher continued his party's policy of refusing to endorse candidates who did not come out against capitalism and in support of the redistribution of wealth. However, many Ulcher voters still voted for Raimundo in the second round.
