[[Socialist Alternative for Euclea]] held a primary to determine their presidential candidate using the alliance's own 151 member {{wp|electoral college}} on 10 July 2022. The contest was won by [[Vivien Vallette]], the incumbent [[Euclean Community#Euclean_Commission|Foreign and Global Affairs Commissioner]], with 85 electors (56.5% of the college).
The [[Socialist Alternative for Euclea]] held a primary to determine their presidential candidate using an {{wp|electoral college}}. The contest was won by [[Vivien Vallette]], the incumbent [[Euclean Community#Euclean_Commission|Foreign and Global Affairs Commissioner]].


Campaigning for the primary began when Hermansdohter declared her intention to seek the nomination on 23 January 2022, but did not begin in earnest until June 2022, with Vallette announcing his long-rumoured candidacy on 10 June 2022 and van Bleiswijk declaring on 24 June 2022. The primary campaign focused heavily on the strength of incumbent governing parties, who had more seats in the college, including the Estmerish [[Progressive Social Democrats]], which was seen as an unknown quantity. All candidates made attempts to court the favour of the PSD and other governing parties, such as supporting [[Zoe Halivar]]'s Euclean tax coordination policy.


The final vote of the 151 member electoral college was held on 10 July 2022. Vallette secured an absolute majority of 85 electors, including those of the governing Estmerish PSD, Gaullican [[Social Democratic Party (Gaullica)|PSD]] and Caldish [[Social Democratic Party (Caldia)|PSD]] and the influential opposition [[Social Democrats (Paretia)|Social Democrats of Paretia]], and was nominated on behalf of the ASE. Hermansdohter and van Bleiswijk both conceded, and urged the party to unite around Vallette.

Elected President

TBD

The 2022 Euclean presidential election is the 4th quinquennial election of the President of the Euclean Community, with the first round held between 7 and 10 October 2022. As no candidate won a majority of seats in the electoral college in the first round, a second round runoff is due to be held between 4 to 7 November 2022.

The first round saw a lead for frontrunner Vivien Vallette of ASE with 29.51% of the popular vote and 207 seats in the electoral college, followed in electoral college seats by Georg Torleif Årbakke of ACDE with 173. However, Årbakke came third in terms of the popular vote, with 22.12%, compared to the Avant candidate Emilia Koopmann with 22.32% of the popular vote, but 168 electoral college seats. This was a matter of controversy during the election, although Koopmann did concede. The three main parties were followed by António de Armas of MNED with 10.00% of the popular vote and 71 electoral seats, Brine Ó Scolaidhe of MVE with 6.65% and 50 seats, Amelia Ifriu of GRM with 5.48% and 43 seats, and Ạþelviġne Vycces of AEFR with 2.16% and 14 seats. No other candidate secured seats in the electoral college, and as no candidate secured a majority of 363 seats, a runoff was called, with Vallette and Årbakke advancing to the second round.

Electoral system

The Euclean President is elected in an indirect election with an electoral college of 725 members. Each member state of the Euclean Community sends a slate of electors to vote for the president with the number of electors being determined by the population of each member state and equal to the number of MEPs the state sends to the Euclean Parliament. The electors are decided through the popular vote, with voters in each member state voting for a preferred candidate. Electors are split on the candidates they vote for in proportion to their popular vote percentage according to the D'Hondt method. If no candidate in the first round wins a simple majority of 363 electoral college votes in the first round, a second round is organised among the two candidates with the most electors.

The final vote of the 151 member electoral college was held on 10 July 2022. Vallette secured an absolute majority of 85 electors, including those of the governing Estmerish PSD, Gaullican PSD and Caldish PSD and the influential opposition Social Democrats of Paretia, and was nominated on behalf of the ASE. Hermansdohter and van Bleiswijk both conceded, and urged the party to unite around Vallette.
