2010 Urcean elections

The 2010 Urcean procuratorial election was the held on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, for the office of Procurator of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea. The incumbent, Michael Witte of the National Democratic Party, declined to run for a third term. The National Pact nominee, James Dynan, was elected Procurator James Cossus Reed stood for Procurator for the first time. The election was held on the same day as the 2010 Urcean Concilium Daoni election, in which the National Democratic Party won a victory in the Daoni. The election took place within the context of the War of the Northern Confederation, which Procurator Michael Witte had begun and was initially unpopular before a string of victories reversed it as a political weakness. It was anticipated that Witte would stand for the National Democratic Party, but citing poor polling numbers and fatigue with his leadership, Witte elevated popular young Delegate James Cossus Reed to become Chancellor and Temporary President beginning in 2010. Dynan capitalized on Reed's inexperience, citing his own military career and successes as Governor-General of the Archduchy of Urceopolis. Beyond the war, Dynan's favorability ratings remained relatively constant in the lead-up to the election, while Reed's fluctuated due to lack of name recognition. It would be the last election that the National Democratic Party would nominate a candidate for.
