The 2014 Torisakia Federal Election was held on January 7, 2014. It was the 11th election of the Democracy era. Voters elected 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. This was a snap election that was called by the majority Conservative congress on October 10, 2013 in response to incumbent president Johnson Crandall's continous pacisfistc response to the growing terrorism issue in Torisakia brought about by the Blue Gods of Death (later FEMOINGOLS) and the Gonzalez Isle Nationalist Movement. The snap election call was made exactly two weeks after Gonzalez Isle Nationalists attacked the city of Paleto Bay and killed 26 people. With the election being held in around three months from the recall, brief primaries and caucases were held across the country that were much shorter compared to a normal election year, which would have been in 2016 had the snap election not been called.

In accordance with the Constitution of Torisakia, congress has the right to call snap federal elections at any point during the current term of the presidency except for the last year of the term. Crandall was a year and a half into his second term as president, following a win in the 2012 election. Congress may only call a snap election with at least two-thirds majority vote by both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
