ROCKFORD HILLS, LOS SANTOS (WZL) – San Andreas is set to hold its ninth regular election with the passing of House Resolution 294 by the legislature which enacts the Winter 2023 election period. With five representative seats, and one governor seat up for grabs, who will rise to the challenge? As with previous elections, rank choice voting will be held to determine the next set of elected officials in San Andreas. 

State Representatives are a vital cog in San Andreas, they are tasked with drafting state laws, voting on civil appointments – such as for new judges or confirming members of the executive cabinet. The Governor’s role is equally important, the governor has the power to sign bills, making them active in addition to filling appointments for various cabinet positions. 

Registration for the election will open on December 12, 2023 and will close on December 19, 2023. All candidates must be eighteen years old and cannot have felony charges for the past three months.

Over the next few weeks, you will hear a lot about Rank Choice Voting, in a typical voting system each voter chooses their preferred candidate, and the candidate with the most votes wins. With rank choice voting, voters have the ability to select all candidates and rank them in their most favorable order. If your first candidate doesn’t receive enough votes, your vote goes onto the next candidate – this process continues until one candidate wins a majority of votes.

Rank choice voting allows voters to have more confidence in their elected officials as the winners have a majority of the public’s confidence.
