It seems like these 3 plus years have flown by, since I accepted the office of President of Conquer Club. A lot has changed in CC during these past years, mostly for the better. Now the time has come for the players of Conquer Club to once again vote and elect a new President. I will be asking you to re-elect me as your President, but there are going to be 23 other candidates campaigning across the US, to seek the Presidency.
When candidates sign up, they will choose free spots available from the 6 US Regions and to chose the Republican or Democrat Party. I will once again be a Republican, representing the US Rockies. See the spaces available when signing up, and enter your choice of Region and Party.
All games (except General Elections) are Auto/Sequential/Escalating/Chained/Foggy. Freemiums must keep all spots open and join their games before they expire or forfeit them.
For the Fundraising Stage, all players will play 3 games 1v1 against the other 3 players in your region. Games will be played on the US Regional map for the group, the US Senate and USA. Each player will have 9 games in this stage, and the highest Republican and Democrat in each region will move forward to the Primary Elections stage. The next highest scoring player in each region will move forward as an Independent. Any tie-breaker required in the stage will be the results of head-to-head games.
In the Primary Elections Stage, candidates within each party will play 3 games 1v1 against the other players in the party, on 3 randomly chosen maps from the following list of 10 Election Issues.

Each player will have 15 games in this stage. The player with the most wins in each party is the Presidential candidate and may choose their VP from the other players in their party primary. If there is a tie, the player with most wins in the the Fundraising stage is the Presidential candidate and the other player is VP by default. If there is still a tie it will broken with one game on US Senate. If the Independent candidate’s total wins from the Primary and Fundraising stages are higher than that of both of the Democrat and Republican candidates, all 3 parties will play in the General Elections; otherwise, only the Democrats & Republicans will continue.
