The 2020 Torisakia Federal Election is scheduled for October 6, 2020. It will be the 48th quadrennial presidential election and the 13th of the Democracy era. Voters will elect the president and vice president directly using the first-past-the-post method. The candidate with the most votes in a constituency is declared to have 'won' that constituency and is awarded it. The first candidate to win a majority of the constituencies is elected president. A series of presidential primary elections and caucuses were held from January to June 2020. The nominating process is a direct election, where voters cast ballots selecting the nominee for a respective party directly through popular vote.
Incumbent president Doug McDowell faced little opposition en route to secuing the New Democratic nomination. At the end of the runoff elections for the New Democratic Party, McDowell won a landslide victory over Brian Soto, whom he named is running mate shortly afterwards, by nearly 79,000 votes. Todd Gould received significant opposition from Ben Sewell in the early stages of the Conservative Party nomination, but managed to pull away by the third runoff election to secure the nomination. The Liberal Party race was much closer, with Steve Harnois beating out Del Turley by only 227 total votes to receive the nomination. The Green Party of Torisakia had a closer race as well, with Ronald Bartlett securing the nomination over Ben Stitt by 558 votes. Reform Party nominee Charlene Ogara and Modern Whig Party nominee Sharon Holm won their respective parties without much opposition.
The winner of the 2020 Torisakia Federal Election is scheduled to be inaugurated on November 21, 2020.
