Spring Into Action 2025: State Election Registrations Now Open!

ROCKFORD HILLS, LOS SANTOS (WZL) – San Andreas is ramping up to hold its thirteenth (13th) regular election with the passing of House Resolution 388 by the legislature which enacted the Spring 2025 election period. With three (3) representative seats, and one (1) 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.

State Representative and Gubernatorial registration for the Spring 2025 election opened on May 20, 2025 and will close on May 27, 2025. All candidates must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, cannot have felony charges for the past three (3) months, and must not be currently incarcerated or on parole and must have waited one (1) month since release. See the Spring State Election Information announcement for further information.

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. Check out this video, and this video if you want to learn more about the rank choice voting process.
