Methodology
Voter eligibility
To be eligible to vote, a nation must be an electoral citizen, which requires that individual to reside in The Leftist Assembly with their World Assembly nation (World Assembly citizen), or to have their World Assembly nation be registered in an affiliated anti-fascist military (Military Voting citizen) or an allied NSLeft region (dual citizen).
Counting
The single transferable voting (STV) system is used, whereby voters rank the options in order of their preference. The primary vote of each option is then tallied, and the option with the least votes is eliminated and their votes preferentially distributed in a repeated process until one option achieves a majority.
