Elections in Imagua and the Assimas

Elections in Imagua and the Assimas refer to elections that take place on the national level and on the parochial level of the government of Imagua and the Assimas.

Criteria

As per the Imaguan constitution, the criteria for voter eligibility is that all voters be eighteen years or older on election day (since the passage of the Sixth Amendment in 1967), and that they are not convicted of treason against the state.

All voters must present valid ID, either their driver's license, or two forms of ID (e.g. birth certificate and utility bill), although if necessary, someone can vouch on behalf of the voter.

Elections

Elections are traditionally held every four years for both the Presidency, the House of Commons of Parliament, and the county councils. The traditional date for these elections since 1936 is the fourth Friday of March, but if Good Friday falls on the fourth Friday of March, as it did in 1940, 1948, 1964, and 2016, the election gets moved to the previous Friday (i.e. the third Friday).

However, elections can be called at any point for any reason, with early elections almost always due to a vote of no-confidence or a defeat of a budget motion, although by-elections and snap elections must be held on a Friday.
