The July 2026 special presidential election was held from 23 to 25 July and was the the 19th election to decide the next president and vice president of Redmont. The special election, which is the first in the nation's history, comes after President Just_Jada resigned with no vice president and no Congress.^[1]

Independent candidate Theory Fontaine, running on a platform of stability and progress together with running mate Anton Fontaine, won election to the presidency in a first round victory, receiving just over half of all votes cast.^[2]

The launched campaigns include, in order of declaration, xXTheoryXx and Antonfr, Dartanboy and Ameslap, roy405 and roy404 and Sofia2750 and Johnes.^[1]

5 candidates declared, but were disqualified for not meeting the Constitution's requirements.

Background

President Multiman155 won the June 2026 presidential election with over 62% of the vote, breaking a year-long streak of the Workers' Party of Redmont.^[3] Multiman resigned following the July 2026 strike, making his Vice President, Just_Jada, President by succession. She resigned a few days later, and with no Vice President, triggered a special presidential election, the first in Redmont's history.

Candidates

Following the resignation of Multiman and before Just_Jada had been officially sworn in as President, Sofia2750 and Johnes announced their campaign for President, running on a "continue the strike" and "let [DC] burn" policy.^[4]

A few moments before Just_Jada had publicly stated her intent to resign from the Presidency, Theory and Anton launched their campaign for the presidency.^[5] Not long after, Dartanboy and Ameslap aswell as roy405 and roy404 announced their campaigns.^[6]^[7]

Events

Campaign Events

Theory and Anton's campaign hosted a campaign rally in Oakridge on 22 July, talking about their plans and answering questions from curious citizens in Redmont. At it's peak, over 60 people were in the Discord stage voice chat, and 30 people were present in-game.^[8]

Inauguration

The inauguration took place on 26 July, mere hours after Theory and Anton were elected.

Electoral system

The President and Vice President are elected by a nationwide Single Transferable Vote (STV) system. Voters rank candidates in order of preference, ranking at least five candidates, or all candidates if fewer than five are contesting the election. Candidates who reach the election quota are declared elected, with any surplus votes transferred to the next preference on each ballot using the Gregory method. If no candidate reaches the quota, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are redistributed according to the next available preference. The process continues until the President and Vice President are elected.^[9]

Eligibility

The Redmont Constitution establishes eligibility requirements for candidates seeking elected office. Candidates must have recorded at least 12 hours of active playtime within the previous 30 days, have been members of DemocracyCraft for more than four months, and have accumulated more than 300 hours of total active playtime. Additionally, individuals who previously held the office of President are ineligible to immediately serve as President again.^[10]

Opinion polling

No opinion polling was done in relation to this election, but Theory was widely regarded as the favorite to win the presidency.

Results

Voter turnout was 302, which is higher than most presidential elections prior to the Jaron wave.

Theory ended up as the winner in a first round victory, receiving over half the votes. Dartanboy got less than a quarter of the first preference votes, with the rest being shared between the two minor candidates, Roy and Sofia.
