Victoria 3 – Election Process

Elections roll around every four years in countries that hold them, with the campaign season kicking off six months before the big day.

Each political party hits the campaign trail with a momentum value, a key indicator of how well they’re connecting with the voters. This momentum can swing up or down during the campaign, influenced by a mix of chance, events, and how much the folks out there like the leaders of various interest groups. Keep in mind -> the political landscape can shift a lot between elections, so momentum resets with each new campaign season.

Once the campaign wraps up and the votes are counted, the results stand until the next election rolls around. The votes translate into political strength for the interest groups tied to the parties, and that strength plays a big part in how legit your government is seen. That legitimacy, in turn, affects how effectively you can run the show.

Now, it’s up to you to form a government, and just like in many modern countries, winning the popular vote doesn’t lock in a government setup. You’ve got to take a hard look at which interest groups came out strong and their party ties, especially if you’re thinking about putting together a minority government.
