1/30 Election

The 1/30 Election was the first election in Coolsville's history. The election proceedings hadn't actually been decided until around 5 days before the election. Coolsville decided between Santos Zatenberg, sitting mayor and leader of the Growth Party, and Nolan Arlington, leader of the Stable Wealth Party. Zatenberg won the election and re-took office on 2/1

Votes
First, the two politicians wrote their statements, which both had a word limit of 500. These statements would be scored by a non-partisan viewer. They had 20 points to distribute between the two candidates. 18 bonus votes were given to Zatenberg and the remaining 2 were given to Arlington.

The next part of the election took place the next day. The 100 members of the city council cast their votes under the system they had set up near the beginning of Santos Zatenberg's first term. 56 members voted for Zatenberg and 44 voted for Arlington.

The results were received well, especially since Zatenberg won the city and statement vote.
