January 2022 Elections


The standing period for the Executive Election and Legislative By-election has opened. With many current Ministers stepping down, it will be interesting to see who runs this time around.

So far, the candidates who have signed up are (with campaign when available):

This means there is currently no one running for Minister of Domestic Affairs or Minister of World Assembly Affairs. There is still another week to sign up though! If you are interested in throwing your hat in the race for any of these positions, Linksign up here. Sign-up closes on 22 January, after which voting will be open to all citizens for a period of 48 hours.

Aren't sure what these jobs entail? Check out our Constitution! This includes all the base requirements and expectations of each position. Please remember that you must be a citizen in good standing to run in any TCB election.


Per Article III Section 10 of the Election Standards Act of 2020:

    Should a candidate ask for it, the Minister of Information will be responsible for sharing one campaign telegram per candidate via Telegram on the NationStates website.
