Election Process 

The candidates running for President will give a 1.5 minute speech. The candidates running for Vice President positions will give a 1 minute speech. If no absolute majority is reached, the top 2 candidates will each give a 30-second speech, on the topic of a pre-set run-off question. These questions could be found in the official description document.

The order of voting for positions are:
