The 1940 Central Shaneville Presidential election was held on the 11 October 1940.

In 1940 amidst World War 2 - Central Shaneville announced "The Isolation Act" effectively shutting itself off from the outside world until further notice, this made the outcome of the 1940 election very interesting as this would be the last election with the original 180 seat layout of the CSP.

George Hargrave's term is surrounded in mystery after opposition Conservative Party leader John Tait was assassinated in a mysterious hit and run incident which to this day no one knows the identity of the killer with many thinking it was some kind of coup by the NWA to get rid of the opposition - Hargrave ran for re-election to clear his name and promised a full investigation regarding the assassination.

At the start of the campaign trail it was the Liberals on top with what was predicted to be another minority government, pundits predicted a Liberal minority as they were the only party in this term to not have done something controversial.

The controversial George Hargrave won the election and second term with a minority government by just 1 seat, he also became the first president since Ben Murker in 1920 to win back to back elections.
