So - every 5th year I run a regional election to find the 5 Council members for the coming period. There shall be 1 Councilor from each district (=world). The Year 220 election is now done, and I had a super-duper great time following the routines electing 18 regional Hood Contacts, finding the 10 Nominees for 5 Councilors - and finally the Mayor! A new NEWS video will be released today (morning US), it's 18 minutes (!) and with street reporters, entertainers in studio and more, it's hopefully nerdy enough to please the nerdy simmers, ha-ha!

(Will there be a new Council in the Council House for the next 5 years?)
Seriously; If you wanna know more about how I run my elections, you will find some info in
this article on my blog. Basically individuals must sign up 1 simyear in advance, then on Election Day (1st day of Spring) the "votes" are tallied to build the score.
In the first round to find 1 Hood Contact per hood, score is mostly based on skills and career experience. In 2nd round to find 10 Nominees (2 from each district/world) score is more based on reputation and community. Finally, in the 3rd round, where 5 Councilors fight it out top become the Mayor, extra points are rewarded based on Social Media popularity :)
Hey- ho, prepare yourself for the Election TV-Special! :)
