1923 Bellogaard General Election

General elections were held in Bellogaard on 19 Wintersend, 1923 to elect the 20th Bellogaardic parliament. The elections were regularly scheduled, and were called by constitutional mandate - requiring parliament to be elected to three year terms. According to the federal electoral law, the Bellogaardic Federal Elections Committee was responsible for overseeing and maintaining the integrity of the election, with several international observers invited to oversee the process, as is tradition.

Incumbent Conservative Prime Minister Noriien Onisve had ruled the country for the past three years, after seizing control of the party away from the more populist and nationalist Imein Geveis. His term had been filled with several gaffes, including early in his term when it was revealed that several of his campaign aids had illegally billed the Conservative Party's campaign finances for personal expenses for a total sum of ¢ 1.2 million that resulted in the arrest of all five conservative aids - one of which was employed in Onisve's office. Meanwhile his government attempted an overhaul of the country's tax code which he described as "outdated" by attempting to pass a flat tax rate, something the Moderate Party refused to sign on to, despite being in coalition with Onisve. Newly elected Labour leader Fialynn Aumiien campaigned on a promise of competent government, and promised a strong centre-left leadership in government with her at the helm. She promised a coalition with the Green Party, and in her election manifesto promised a range of green-progressive programs. In the aftermath of the voting on election day, broadcasters had reported that Aumiieri's left wing bloc was ahead of six seats, and that she was projected to become the new Prime Minister, with her coalition agreement with the Green Party agreed to a month later.

The election in Bellogaard was called consequential by many analysts, as, for one, Aumiien's election to the position of Prime Minister marked the first occasion that a female had ever held this post, or at the very least had been elected to the post, and her election marked the first time a woman was elected as head of government in the Gaardic world. Additionally, the election of her Labour led coalition government marked the quickest return to government of any party in Bellogaardic political history, with her party being out of government for only one term.
