The 2024 Corintheian presidential election is the 58th quadrennial presidential election and was held in Corintheia on Monday, October 28, 2024. Voters in each state and the federal district (Augusta City) voted to indirectly elect the next president and vice-president through members selected in the 2024 primary elections to represent each state in the Electoral College. Approximately one month after the election is held, the members of the Electoral College will meet in their respective state capitols to formally vote for the president and vice-president.
The incumbent president, Sandra Carter, a member of the Progressive Party, ran for re-election and won, with her current vice-president, Ronald Hartman, as her running mate. Carter won with no opposition in the primary elections and was officially nominated in August of 2024 at the Progressive Party Convention. Senator Kelvin Fout won the Nationalist Party nomination after a competitive primary election. Fout chose Governor Cecelia Stevenson as his running mate and both were officially nominated at their parties convention in July 2024.
In the 2020 presidential election Carter won in a landslide, however, polling had shown that the 2024 election will be much tigther election but this was not the case. This was most likely attributed to the approval rating for Carter had been less than satisfactory throughout her first term. Carter's approval rating in 2022 went as low as 37% due to the affair her Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense had engaged in. Carter had denied she knew the affair was taking place but an investiagtion by the House Committee on Standards & Practices showed the president knew of the affair and ignored it. This scandal almost led to Carter being investigated by the House for impeachment.
Throughout the election Fout focused on the scandal, often exaggerating details and claims made by independent news outlets that had been characterized as satirical. Fout denied exaggerating any details and has stated numerous times inside sources have confirmed these claims but has refused to say who. He was criticized for his lack of policy platform and of the few he had released are often meant to benefit the upper class and major corporations.
