Burnside Election

The 89th Burnside General Election was held nationally in 58 A.B. [2017 A.D] in order to form the 89th Bobber Cabinet, the governance of Burnside. Though opinion polls inferred a tossup, the election was a landslide victory for Bobby Rizzo (Indp.), who was sworn into his 89th Consecutive term on the 13th Bobbidor. The election succeeds the 88th General Election and precedes the 90th.

Background
The 89th Election was unanimously called after the suspension of the previous 88th Bobber Cabinet, in the zenith of the Mamluk Invasion. President for Life, Bobby Rizzo, was unable to negotiate an agreement between his cabinet ministers on engagement protocol. Subsequently, with no legislature to speak of, Bobber declared martial law in New Burnside; which had been besieged by the ALFAL-FA menace since the First Chronicle.

Campaign
The election campaign was held by the sole-party representative, Bobby Rizzo, and his running mate Lionel. Early opinion polls revealed voter's perceptions of a potential conflict-of-interest between Bobber and Lionel, who many feared would attempt a coup (canards were widely-distributed claiming Lionel's affiliation with ALFAL-FAs; some even claiming his clandestine involvement in the execution of Captain Sombodi. It is now believed that these pamphlets were distributed by Gulf City.)

Results
The election was held nationally; polling stations were widely available and serviced. A record turnout of 100% was recorded - the 89th consecutive tie among turnouts.

Franchise, which had been amended during the previous cabinet, was open to all individuals over the age of 18, regardless of ethnicity - albeit, if they shared the exact DNA with Bobby Rizzo. A total of 1 individuals were counted among the eligible.
