1921 Caliane General Election

General Elections were held in Caliane for all 445 members of the Estate-General on 19 Veiltide, 1921. The elections were organized by the Imperial Elections Office, who administer Caliantene elections, and had a total of seven political parties on the ballot for the elections.

Her coalition partners, the Greens and Labour Party, ran on platforms which promised government investment in green energy, as well as negotiations with unions throughout Gelenia. One contentious issue on the left was the issue of nuclear energy, which the Greens stood against, while the Liberals and Labour Parties supported.

On election day, polls opened at 7:00 in the morning, and by midafternoon it was clear that there was going to be a high voter turnout, with many people interviewed by the national broadcaster PBC claiming that they were voting "against the government". By the evening, the exit polls released at 22:00 showed that the Liberals were on track to win an overwhelming majority with 188 seats, one of the highest results for any party in Gelenian history. McCormick came out at 22:15 before results were officially announced and declared he would step down as party leader and Prime Minister following the disastrous results, paving the way for Eva Stewart to claim the Prime Minister's office after moth long coalition negotiations the following month.
