Electoral system

One day before 2019 election polling started, the Parliament passed a motion to change the voting system to alternative voting. The prime minister is elected directly by the citizens where they fill ballots saying which prime minister they wish to elect, then the votes are tallied per province, with the competitor voted by majority gaining the seat in parliament. If no competitor has a majority, the votes for the candidate with the least primary votes are redistributed according to the secondary vote. If no competitor has a majority after that, the cycle continues with the tertiary votes, et cetera, until a candidate gets majority. This method of voting remained unused until 2022 when four competitors ran for election.

Election

The election should take place on 20 June 2022 as per the Fixed Terms Election Act, however, amongst several resignations, was delayed to the first of July.
