The 2020 Vazian was the 33rd quinquennial presidential election, held on Saturday, December 12, 2020. The Progressive ticket of Brudian Governor Micheal Brudia and incumbent state representative from Central State Racheal Povaz defeated the Tradionalist ticket of incumbent president Richard Gold and vice president Frank Warner. Gold became the first president since 1905 and the second incumbent in the country's history to fail to be re-elected. The election had an unexpectedly high turnout. This may have
Brudia scored an upset landslide victory. The popular vote was won by Brudia with a 13.5% lead over President Gold and Brudia also carried 5 of the 7 states garnering 202 electoral votes in total. The overwhelming popular vote victory may have been skewed by the nearly 4.5 million vote margin of victory in the state of Brudia by Brudia. Major pollsters had the race narrowly leaning toward the incumbent president Gold or a toss-up.
The election was seen as a realigning one as the traditionally conservative southern states, known as the red line, swung hevaliy towards the left-wing Progressives.
The election results in each state and D.C. were certified by December 14.[30] The presidential electors formally cast their votes for president and vice president, at the earliest opportunity, on December 15,[31] and their votes were officially counted by the Legislature on December 19, 2020. Brudia and Povaz are scheduled to be inaugurated on January 1, 2021.
