=====Alsace-Lorraine Vicariate Estates Election, 2009=====

In the time before the [[AH.com General Elections, 2009]], the newly proclaimed [[Vicariate Estates of Alsace-Lorraine]] held their first election.  Voting began on July 10, and will have continued until July 13.  

==== Campaigning and Overview ====

This election featured the first appearance of the [[EGO Coalition]] in an election; in fact, four of the five entities contesting the election were coalitions.  The only exception was the [[Yorkshire Socialist Party]].  Another point of notability is the abandonment of the "Douglas method" for tabulating the votes; Election Leader [[LightInfa]] instead chose to avoid dropping the below-threshold parties, allowing for less anti-small-party discrimination.
