Ballots
For the Secretarial election, instant runoff voting (IRV) was used, whereby voters rank the candidates in order of their preference. The primary vote of each candidate is then tallied, and the candidate with the least votes is eliminated and their votes preferentially distributed in a repeated process until one candidate achieves a majority. If there is only one candidate, they face a confidence vote instead.
The election committee consisted of founder Kavagrad, Ghillemear, and Yong. Voting was held 8-11 March as originally scheduled, and the committee released the results on 12 March.
Endorsements
Only endorsements by nations who have previously served in an executive or legislative leadership position are recorded.
