Becoming a Congress candidate
If you have at least 100 EP, you are able to run for a congressional seat in your region between the 16th and 23rd of each month. On the 24th the list for congressional candidates will be closed and the party president will have the ability to manage the position of the members on these lists.
When you decide to run for a congressional position, you'll be able to provide a link to a presentation for your potential voters.
Remember, even if you run for Congress, your name will only appear on the ballot if you are a member of one of the Top-5 parties in your country.
Number of Congress seats in a country or region
The total number of congress members representing a region will be a minimum of one and a maximum of 10, depending on the number of regions in each country. The normal number of congress members will be 40. See Division of Congress Members
Election Day
In the main menu, after accessing the 'Community' tab, a button named 'Elections' will be displayed for all citizens. This way, while you are in the New World you will only be one click away from seeing what's new in the eRepublik elections. (Note: This page is available all the time in order to see past elections results.)
When expressing your choice in Congress Elections, you will choose a candidate from your region.
Besides the candidates that have received a congress seat, the remaining candidates with the highest number of votes from all regions gain a wild card and become congress members as well. You can see how the number of wild cards are distributed per country depending on the number of regions here.
The old Members of Congress lose their positions.
Duties of members of Congress
- Voting on proposals proposed by the president.
- Propose laws
Some countries have a slightly more advanced system where members of Congress can register at forums to discuss and decide on a lot more things than just sitting and voting on proposals.
Alert
If a country does not have any job offers between skill 0 and 1 on the Human Resources market, the President and the members of congress will receive a private message announcing this issue.
