       Voters in Markev and Belvitz will head to the polls today, to replace Prefects Robert Sigismund and John Hugh Sarkozic, both formerly of the CCP. This election will be considered a referendum on the preferred leadership in the Empire; are the Priorists too radical to lead, or has the CCP disappointed their constituents with continuously weak elected officials? Polls will be open for about seven Saint’s hours. ((3:30pm EST – 11pm EST)) Individuals who still need to pick up voter ID cards may still do so today.

BREAKING UPDATES;

BELVITZ CLERGYMAN’S MESSAGE TO VOTERS: “I IMPLORE ALL OF THE EMPIRE TO VOTE” 7:58

Local Belvitz Priest, Father Humpfrey, has spent all night registering citizens of Belvitz to vote, faced with a historically low voter turnout rate in the city. He’s spoken with an estimated sixty((6)) voters and convinced them to register. “I am promoting people in Belvitz to vote because it is important for the people to choose who will be representing them in the Imperial Parliament,” he began. “It is the people they will serve, after all. The people come together in unison to vote somebody into office that they believe will defend and represent the wishes to the others in Parliament. People must have faith in those they elect, if people do not vote today, they may regret it in the future, and we can’t have that!” He continued, “I implore all of the Empire to vote in future elections, for it is the betterment of your settlement, you have the power to choose who will represent you to the rest of Parliament, do not throw that power away.” He concluded by reminding folks that, no matter the outcome of the elections at the national level, we should refrain from violence on both sides and keep debate civil in the political world.

 

CCP PROJECTED TO FLIP SEAT IN BELVITZ 7:32

CCP nominee in Belvitz, Antanios Opal Rutledge, is expected to win by a massive margin of 85%, in the largest political upset of the night. He can be seen above with a rally of Adrians, seated with his wife, Rivaini Rutledge. The seat is currently held by Ostrobor Carrion, a Priorist who was appointed to temporarily fill the previous Prefect’s seat, John Hugh Sarkozic, who resigned amidst election controversies. Carrion ran in the prior election, and lost by a mere six points to Sarkozic. However, his second time around seems to have fizzled out, garnering about nine percent of the vote. This election was expected to be extremely competitive, given that the Priorist nearly won. However, some critique the Priorists for not campaigning during the by-election season, whereas Rutledge hit the campaign trail and coasted to victory. The third challenger, Steve Default, garnered about seven percent of the vote, competing at about the same level as Carrion. Polls are open for another two hours, but Rutledge is expected to succeed all expectations, flipping a seat currently held by the Priorist Party into the CCP’s hands.

 

MAYOR-ELECT DUN’HOPE TO BECOME CAROLUSTADT’S FIRST ELECTED MAYOR 6:34

Independent Mayor-Elect of Carolustadt, Obediah Dun’hope, gave the following statement in regards to his newfound position;

“I am typically a man of very few words, I speak when I deem it necessary. Today – Today, I find it necessary. Being that this is the first election for this city’s Mayoral position, I find it imperative that I should voice the concerns of the people and I will do so. This city, built through our strength as a collective, deserves a Mayor who will stand up for all of its citizens to make it a perfect place worthy of it’s title: Capital of Man. I hope that you believe me when I say that I want nothing more than to make this city a haven for human kind. To be a place that welcomes those of vassals and other walks of life so that we may flourish into something even greater, something unbeknownst with the powerful will and determination of you – or rather, us, the citizens of Carolustadt. We shall determine the success of the city together, working on a lasting legacy for our friends, our families, our children, and our children's children.”

 

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE STEVE DEFAULT TIED WITH PRIORISTS 5:14

Above, a journalist is speaking with independent candidate for Parliament, Steve Default, who has recently learned that he’s tied with Ostrobor Carrion. “Today’s election will be a default stomp, no doubt,” noted the political newcomer. “No longer will the default man toil for ridiculous time for his feeble peasant abode whilst nobles sit in grace profiteering off of our labor.”

 

HISTORICALLY HIGH VOTER REGISTRATION DAY OF ELECTION 4:47

We’re garnering reports that the election offices are flooded with new voters, who waited until the last minute to register. We expect extremely high voter turnout rates in Markev today, with the recently heated debate spurring residents to get out there and cast their ballot. Belvitz is a different story, with a lower turnout than the last election. “I think part of the reason Belvitz turnout is so low is because voters don’t recognize the concept of a ‘Prefect,’ more concerned with internal issues such as tax reform,” noted Belvitz Maer, Darius Ault.
