In the year since the announcement of Victoria 3, the authors have already published 45 developer diaries. The most recent of them is dedicated to the election. Below are the main details. 

Right to vote

Elections are held in the presence of the following laws of separation of powers:

  • The right to vote of landowners.
    • Aristocrats, capitalists, priests and officers have almost complete control over elections and receive a huge bonus to the political power they pass on to political groups.
  • The right to vote of the rich.
    • The right to vote is granted after reaching a certain level of affluence.
    • The population admitted to the polls has greater political power.
  • The right to vote, taking into account income.
    • The required level of wealth is much lower than the law.
    • Literate people pass on to stakeholders much more than political power.
  • Universal suffrage.
    • There are no restrictions on the level of wealth.
    • The appearance of the population and its literacy do not provide additional political strength.
    • The abundance of certain groups increases their political power.
    • Literacy increases political activity.

     

Factors prohibiting voting

  • Discrimination - the discriminated population cannot participate in elections.
  • Excluded oblasts - only the population from the included oblasts has the right to vote.
  • Politically inactive population.

The movement of suffragettes

  • The adoption of a law on the right to vote for women will significantly increase both the percentage of the working population and the percentage of voting dependents.
  • By 1836, support for this law was very low among interest groups.
  • After studying political agitation, the suffrage movement is gaining momentum - a record of women's suffrage appears in the magazine and events are launched to develop or ignore / suppress the movement.

Nuances

  • Elections are held every four years in countries that have relevant laws.
  • The election campaign will begin six months before the election.
  • At the beginning of the campaign, each political party is given the importance of dynamics. It shows the success of the campaign and determines the number of votes they will receive on election day.
  • During the campaign, the dynamics for each game change and affect the end result.
  • After the end of the campaign and voting, the results are fixed until the next election.
