23 March Unnamed Republic Election

An election was held on 23 March 2021 for the position of Governor of the Unnamed Republic. It was the second election to be held in the Unnamed Republic.

The election is notable for the necessity of a second round of voting, the first time this has happened in Unnamed Republican history.

Background and campaigning
SebidTheBanana, who won the previous election, had undertaken multiple projects since he had become governor. However, he stated that he would not run for reelection. In response, AljonBeest and Kertovsky decided to run for governor. AljonBeest promised to equally distribute high-grade materials such as diamond and netherite, while Kertovsky promised to dissolve the Unnamed Republic to create a truly free society.

AuriTheGreat initially endorsed AljonBeest's campaign, but retracted this endorsement later.

The election
The election was scheduled to start at 18:00 PM UTC, but by that time SebidTheBanana was not present. Since the governor had to officially hand over power to the winner of the election, the election could not proceed as long as Sebid was not present. By 18:30 PM, Sebid was still not present. In order to pressure the governor into coming, AljonBeest threatened to declare a revolution against Sebid if he did not show up by 18:35 PM. The time for the ultimatum expired and the revolution was called, during which the governor's office was looted along with some of the governor's personal belongings. Eventually, SebidTheBanana showed up and the elections could begin.

However, Kertovsky stole the constitution which was laying on the podium the candidates were supposed to hold their speeches on. Kertovsky fled to his own settlement and his candidacy was declared invalid. In order to prevent AljonBeest from being the only candidate, AuriTheGreat and SebidTheBanana announced their candidacies too.

The candidates held their speeches and voting started. The voting process had been improved since the last election, with Anticitizen and Vikhus being the independent observers who counted the votes. AljonBeest and AuriTheGreat had both received 3 votes. This led to another round of voting being announced, completely between AljonBeest and AuriTheGreat. AuriTheGreat won this round of voting by a large margin and was declared governor.

The results of both rounds were as follows:
