Teiko National Elections, 2015

The Teiko National Elections of 2015 will be the fifth sextennial national elections in the Federal Kingdom of Teiko since 1986 and is scheduled on Thursday, November 26, 2015. The national election will select the next Premier and Deputy Premier of Teiko as well as half of the district representatives and all the sectoral representatives of the Teiko Royal Council through a plurality voting system. The position of premier and deputy premier are elected separately by the people, and the winning candidates may come from different political parties. Incumbent Premier Seijuro Akashi is still allowed by the 1986 Teiko Constitution to run for one more term in office.

Background
Article Five of the Teiko Constitution stipulates that for a person to be elected and serve as Premier of the Federal Kingdom of Teiko, the individual must be a natural-born citizen of Teiko, at least 25 years old, and a resident of Teiko for a period of no less than five years prior to elections. Candidates must also be an incumbent district representative at the time of his submission of candidacy until his resignation as the Commission on Elections requires all running candidates to resign en masse from their government positions. Candidates typically seek endorsement and support from various political parties in Teiko. The party's delegates then officially nominate a candidate to run on the party's behalf. Otherwise, they may run as independent.
