Dorvish Federal Election, 4378

The Dorvish Federal Election of 4378 will be held on the 19th of July 4378 to elect the President of the Federal Republic of Dorvik and decide the make-up of the Federal Assembly of the Federal Republic of Dorvik. The election is due to be dominated by the alliances of New Dorvik and the Alliance for Progress.

Presidency
The Dorvish Federal Election of 4378 was used to elect the President of Dorvik for a term of at maximum four years. The Presidency was decided by a two-round system, each first-past-the-post with the two top candidates from the first round progressing to the second. If a candidate received over 50% of the vote in the first round, they would be the winner without a second round.

The incumbent was Robert Holamn of the Alliance for Freedom.

New Dorvik
After a long primary season, the New Dorvik alliance elected Suzanne Reuter to be its presidential candidate. She defeated Anneliese Schoenberg, Ernest Schauss and Nicolas Steichen to be the first candidate of the right-wing alliance. She was supported by the ADA, DNP, PWS and DVP - the four constituent parties of the New Dorvik alliance.

Alliance for Progress
Two-term incumbent Dr. Robert Holman announced his intention to seek a third term, and was nominated without contention by the Alliance for Progress. His support was made up of the four constituent parties of the AfP: the Green Liberal Party, Centrist Party, Red Movement and Social Democratic Party.

HVV
The HVV candidate is yet to be formally announced, but it is expected to be twice-presidential hopeful Hermann Hössler.

KRA
The KRA candidate is yet to be announced.

Campaign
The two alliance candidates of New Dorvik and the Alliance for Progress started campaigning by the beginning of the electoral year. Both made trips across Dorvik and made several speeches in major cities.

Reuter's campaign focused on rural and suburban voters in the South and Dorvan, as well as rural Westmark and rural Kordusia. Holman focused on the industrial areas of the South and big cities on the mainland, as well as Westmark and inner Fairfax.
