Background
In November 2022, a civil war broke out across Mazerus, and by January 2023, the Liberation Militia (LM) had won the war. De-facto leader of the LM, Yuan Shekay, shortly after became Prime Minister of Mazerus and called a general election on the 18th.
Date of the election
The deadline for candidate nominations was 25th January 2023, with political campaigning for 10 days until polling day on 28 January. On the day of the election, polling stations across the country were open from 7 am, and closed at 10 pm.
Voting eligibility
Individuals eligible to vote had to be registered to vote by midnight on 27 January. To be eligible to vote, individuals had to be aged 18 or over; residing as an Mazeran or Shisanean citizen at an address in Mazerus, or a Mazeran citizen overseas who registered to vote; and not legally excluded (on grounds of detainment in prison, a mental hospital, or on the run from law enforcement) or disqualified from voting.
