Imperial elections

All Imperial titles are elected or appointed at one of the quarterly gatherings at Anvil. These take place at the Summer and Winter Solstices and the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes. This is also when the Imperial Institutions meet and exercise their legal powers.

These titles are either appointed every season as shown on this page of the Election Schedule or they are appointed only when vacant, of which all such titles can be found on the permanent titles page.

Elections are held by various different means (for example each nation uses their own traditional voting method to appoint their senators whilst generals are usually appointed by unanimous agreement of a nations senators) and are observed to ensure there are no election irregularities by Merlot, the Civil service Overseer of Imperial Elections.
