The 1st Ostric regional election occurred on 10 August 1986. The first elections to the regional Dorada, the social democratic and unionist Social Democratic Radical Party gained the most in the popular vote, winning seven seats and forming a coalition government with the socialist Ostric Section of the Workers' International.

Background

The administrative reforms of 1 January 1986 created the Free State of Ostry, and by consequence the first Ostric legislature in the form of the Dorada. In the first election campaign, focus was placed on the unionist parties, who claimed responsibility for devolution.

Electoral system

The electorate elects all fifteen members of the Dorada using single non-transferable vote in one island-wide multi-member constituency.

Reactions

After the election, Remigiùsz Woss was tasked by Otto XII with forming a governing majority. Woss was able to form a "red-red" agreement with the OSAI, creating an unionist and left-wing majority in the Dorada. The Ostric People's Party, in contrast, solidified itself as the main separatist opposition to the government.
