Elections in Araçana
The Principality of Araçana and Ŋasegak is a semi-constitutional democracy, and holds regularly scheduled nation-wide elections to determine the makeup of the Pola Oçhuse, its legislative assembly. The Mayor of Araçana, the country’s head of government, is elected by the members of the Pola Oçhuse (Traditionally from within their own ranks).
Elections are scheduled to occur on February 10th, 2025.
February 2026 elections (Upcoming)
Background
The February 2026 elections will be the first to include 23 Aga Oçhuse, an increase from the current number 21. There will be one less Aga Oçhuse from Ñanga Ǵerhun, two more from Çana City, and one more from Irgüya.
The elections are occurring in a volatile period domestically and internationally, with events fresh on voter’s minds including World War 2, which Araçana was nominally involved in but did not fight in, and the temporary occupation of Araçana by the Kavakkorae, which ended following the miraculous reäppearance of Outlaw Sly. Sly, currently serving as the Mayor and as the only independent Aga Oçhuse, is not pursuing reëlection, despite her popularity.
The coöperation between Advance Araçana and the Social Democrats that defined the previous government is showing strain, as the Social Democrats shift farther to the Left and away from coöperation with the Doge, and as Advance Araçana’s popularity is declining amid allegations of corruption. A new political party, the Restoration Party, has been founded, largely based on suburban support from Ñanga Ǵerhun province.
