Methodology[edit | edit source]
Voting[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
The election moderators were Cedoria, Obiristan, and South Miruva. Votes were counted and distributed using the alternative voting system. In this system, the candidate with the lowest number of primary votes is eliminated, their votes are redistributed according to the voters' preferences, and the process is repeated until there is a winner. In the Justices election, this process is repeated only till the final three candidates are determined, whereby they are each elected.
Endorsements[edit | edit source]
Only endorsements by nations who have previously served in an executive leadership position are recorded.
