Sandbox Republic General Election of 2010
The first elections in the history of the Sandbox Republic, held to determine the presidency and composition of the 1st Congressional Assembly.
Campaigning and Overview
After an initial flurry of Presidential candidates, offtopic/Lord Roem quickly captured the momentum and won multiple endorsements from members of the former Imperial Republic government and forcing at least one candidate to withdraw. In the Congressional race, the Socialist Dreamers Party proved popular and by July 17 appeared well on its way to winning a plurality of seats.
Candidates for President
Registration for Presidential candidates opened on July 14, 2010. The voting was scheduled to close on July 28. Of the candidates nominated, only the five with the most endorsements will proceed to the final vote. Candidates are barred from running for Congress.
