Elections in Teiko

The nature of Teiko's political system has created three types of elections: national elections to elect premier and vice premier which are held every six years (unless the current premier was removed from office and the successor fails to meet the 2/3 approval of the congress), general elections to the Teiko National Council which occurs every three years, it is to be noted that the general elections and national elections coincide in an interval to allow a quorum in the congress and lastly, the prefectural and district elections of local officials in municipalities, cities, towns, villages and other recognized administrative units which occurs every four years.

All elections are supervised by election committees at each administrative level under the general direction of the Commission on Elections an floating commission that serves directly under the premier.
