jacobbear100 focused his campaign heavily on the economic development and growth of the group, in contrast to the mainly military-oriented campaign of Arya_51. Raveiin was set on the ideas of continued work towards the 'uptopia of equity' and USERNAMEneeded11 focused his campaign on civil rights.

The election brought about the first female to run for a major party position (Raveiin,) as well as the first man of black ancestry to run for a major party position (USERNAMEneeded11, despite his profile picture, he is confirmed of ancestry.) The election was considered to be free and fair, with only one major instance of election rigging taking place. It was quickly dealt with and resolved, although some of Arya_51's votes are still contested.

Towards the end of the election period, polls and data began to favor jacobbear100 claiming victory, although polling data suggested that USERNAMEneeded11 would secure most of the remaining vote.

Poll on March 20th:

jacobbear100: 70% of the vote.

USERNAMEDneeded11: 15% of the vote.

Arya_51: 10% of the vote.

Raveiin: 5% of the vote.

The final result began to show over the four days between March 30th 2017, and April 4th, 2017. For most of the casting, jacobbear100 led the vote, with Arya_51 and other candidates steadily gaining ground. In contrast to the poll, jacobbear100 was only able to capture just over two thirds of his projected percentage for the Liberal Democrats, Arya_51 and the Reactionary Conservatives tripled performance in the election, USERNAMEDneeded11 and the Social Democrats suffed a huge hit and were only able to capture one vote, and Raveiin and the Green Independents doubled their performance. This could be contributed to the elites believing in an large majority victory for jacobbear100, and the lack of elite support for Arya_51.

After the victory of jacobbear100 on April 4th, he was inaugurated a week later, and served a full six months officially until the election on September 30th, 2017, where he chose not to run for re-election.
