Elections work as follows:
- The incumbent Senator must endure a Vote of Confidence. If she gains a majority, she is considered re-elected.
- If the incumbent Senator looses the Vote of Confidence, the people pick new Nominees by writing the name of any other Citizen on the ballot.
- The Nominee with the fewest Nominations transfers his nominations to another Nominee. This continues until only two Candidates remain.
- The people vote between the two remaining Candidates. The Candidate with the most votes wins.
- Elected Senators join a Senate Faction. If the incumbent Principle-Senator's Faction has a majority of Seats, the Election is concluded.
- Should the incumbent Principle-Senator fail to get a majority of Seats, she must try to form a coalition with other Factions. Should she fail, another Faction may move for a Vote of No Confidence in the Principle-Senator.
- One the Principle-Senator loses the Confidence of the Senate, Other Factions will attempt to form a government and must get a Vote of Confidence from a majority of the Senate.
The eight factions arising in the Senate and hoping to form a government are as follows:
The Conservatives: Campaigning on a platform of lowering taxes.
The Social Democrats: Campaigning on a platform of higher income equality.
The Liberals: Campaigning on a platform of lowering military spending.
The Theocrats: Campaigning on a platform of giving religion more say in government and public funds.
The Nationalists: Campaigning on a platform of lowering immigration levels and tighter border controls.
The Militarists: Campaigning on a platform of a Higher Emphasis on National Security
The Environmentalists: Campaigning on a platform of ending Nuclear Power in Lemmingtopias.
The Royalists: Campaigning on a platform of re-instituting the imperial position of Lomax as Head of State and Government of Lemmingtopias.
