Voting
To be eligible to vote, a nation must be part of the World Assembly and reside in The Leftist Assembly. The voter numbers each of the candidates in order of their preference on a Google Forms document.

Counting
The election moderators were Cedoria, South Miruva, and New Prague Workers Republic. The first step to counting the votes is comparing each candidate head-to-head with the 'Seek other' option. If the candidate does not receive more votes than it, it is eliminated. If the number of candidates remaining is less than the positions available, all are elected and a subsequent by-election is held to fill the vacancies. If the number of candidates remaining is equal to the positions available, all are elected and no more action is required. If the number of candidates remaining is more than the positions available, then the single transferable voting system and the Hare quota are used to determine the winners.
