The 2001 Tevitheimer grand chancellery election was the seventh sextennial grand chancellery election in Tevitheim. Unlike previous Tevitheimer elections, which usually consisted of two primary candidates, the 2001 election had four contenders for the grand chancellery; Jarl of Brendanland Aaron Edwards of the Social Union, Vice Chancellor Joakim Sunde of the Republican Party, law professor Paal Zhang of the newly founded Liberal Democratic Party, and independent businessman from Ditka Vernik Hjertsson. Because none of the candidates for grand chancellor garnered a majority of electoral votes, the Alnating was entitled to select the grand chancellor (with each jarldom casting one vote). After 36 ballots of deadlock, Hjertsson and Edwards threw their support behind Zhang, who was elected grand chancellor. Zhang was the first ever Chinese person elected grand chancellor.
Edwards won most of the interior and south of Tevitheim and split New Trondheim with Sunde, who also won the northern jarldoms. Hjertsson won several western jarldoms, and Zhang was popular in the jarldoms with high amounts of Chinese voters. Edwards won a plurality of the electoral vote while Sunde won a plurality of the popular vote. Zhang came in third place for electoral votes and fourth in the popular vote while Hjertsson won third in popular vote but fourth in electoral vote. Thus, Hjertsson was eliminated from the contingent election, though some members of the Alnating from jarldoms which voted for Hjertsson were able to keep their jarldoms from casting votes for Edwards. After 36 ballots Edwards and Hjertsson asked their supporters to vote for Zhang, who was elected on the 37th ballot.
This is one of only two elections to be decided by the Alnating, the other being the 1959 Tevitheimer Grand Chancellery Election. Due to the controversy of this election, the contingency process was eliminated in 2005 in favor of a two-round system. Zhang's 19.77% represents the lowest ever percentage won by someone who was elected grand chancellor (though Raimundo won 8.97% in 2007, she ascended to the grand chancellery due to the resignation of both officials before her in the line of succession). Zhang's election marks the only time a member of a party that was neither the Social Union or Republican parties won the grand chancellery in a popular vote without being the incumbent grand chancellor. This was the first election where the combined territories and Prospekt were able to cast electoral votes.
