🗳️ Elections
Three city seats, landowner voting, in-person polling and real policy effects.
The seats
There are three seats: Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Each is counted separately and has its own winner and policy. The server counts the ballots.
Who can vote
- You must own a home or land in the seat you are voting in.
- Your account must be at least 7 days old.
- You must be in that city, standing at its polling unit, while polls are open.
- One ballot per account per seat. A cast vote cannot be changed.

Parties and policies
| Party | Policy if elected |
|---|---|

| 🌴 Golden State | Business tax −1% (tax becomes 7%); prices +5% |
| 🌊 Pacific Blue | Transit fares −20%; prices −5% |
Running for office
You need to own property or land in the city, be 18 or older, and pay a ₦5,000 filing fee. Register in person from Phone → Elections or Who’s Who. Your name appears on the ballot; campaign spending is game money only.
There is no pay-to-win: one account, one vote, and only landowners in that city decide. A winner’s policy applies across the city’s fares, prices and wages and stacks with the weekly economic event.
The count
Votes update live. When polls close, the party with the most ballots wins and its policy applies. A new election opens after a short break. Your profile records that you voted, but not who you voted for.
