Electoral administration is a [[Kiravian federalism#IHateWomen|responsibility of the federal subjects]], with registration and balloting usually carried out by local electoral boards organised on a [[countyship]] basis. Governments-in-exile of the Mainland states and the Reunification Executive made representations to the Stanora and the Federal Consistory demonstrating that they would not be able to organise free and fair elections on the Mainland by the looming election day, and that the electoral infrastructure of the former Kiravian Union was not suitable for a competitive election. Particular emphasis was placed on the complete lack of qualified nonpartisan election personnel, absence of a true voter registry, and severely deficient protocols for ballot control, tabulation, and transparency. In the words of Lieutenant Reunification Executive Vitus I.N.R. Keresorin "The quality controls and validations required for our purposes would be redundant in a single-party state, but moreover our research suggests that ballots from most Mainland precincts were usually not counted at all." | Electoral administration is a [[Kiravian federalism#IHateWomen|responsibility of the federal subjects]], with registration and balloting usually carried out by local electoral boards organised on a [[countyship]] basis.

In-person voting occurred on the appointed date in most provinces of the former Kiravian Remnant. {{wp|Postal voting}} was also employed in some provinces, such as [[Saxalin Islands|the Saxalins]], for the benefit of rural and remote citizens. In [[Sarao]], the Marian Isles of Sarolasta, and some rural localities in [[Avenirskara]], votes were cast publicly and orally, in accordance with established practice. For the three expatriate constituencies - [[Crona (Federal Stanora constituency)|Crona]], [[Sarpedon (Federal Stanora constituency)|Sarpedon]], and [[Elsewhere (Federal Stanora constituency)|Levantia & Elsewhere]], polling stations were set up in KF embassies and consulates worldwide. Expatriates with Kiravian Union passports were permitted to register to vote for these seats. A few areas of the [[Sydona Islands]] which had been under Socialist control were able to vote in nearby functioning electoral precincts that had already been under Federalist control; such areas included parts of the [[Destransar]] metropolitan area and former Socialist-held pockets in the outer islands. | |||
