The 2030 Urcean elections were held on Tuesday, November 5, 2030.
The long term consequences of the 2015 Urcean political realignment, establishment of the Solidarity Party, and Final War of the Deluge reduced the Urcean political spectrum back to just two large parties by 2030 - the Solidarity Party and National Pact. Both the Procuratorial and Concilium Daoni elections were presented by both major parties as a referendum on the leadership of Livio Iarnán. Solidarity argued that, though many of the large scale reforms had not been achieved, Iarnán steadily governed the country in the wake of the Final War of the Deluge and had implemented many sensible reforms which gestured at broader changes. The National Pact had several arguments related to his leadership, namely that he did not deliver on his promises, that his promises were too radical for Urcea, and that peacetime required a return to the constitutionally-oriented, stable leadership of the National Pact.
Livio Iarnán won reelection easily, defeating the National Pact's Daoni leader Conner Scipio Salderio by 14 points. It was the largest victory in a Procuratorial election since the 2015 Urcean elections and the second largest of the 21st century, only trailing 2015. In the Daoni, Solidarity was returned with a slightly reduced majority, and the National Pact only made minor gains. The Working Families Party - which broke away from the Social Labor Party during the 2026-30 term - was a major election night surprise, gaining 13 seats and becoming the third largest party. The Social Labor Party continued its steady decline in the Daoni since the 2015 election.

Leadership of Iárnan
As incumbent Procurator and Chancellor, Livio Iarnán (Solidarity) occupied a central place in the Urcean political system not held by an individual in two decades. Accordingly, both Solidarity and the rival National Pact made Iarnán the central issue in the 2030 elections, transforming the entire down-ballot election into a referendum on his leadership.
Iarnán, entering his tenth year as leader of the Daoni and fifth as incumbent Procurator, had a decent level of support coming into the 2030 election season, but not an overwhelming public mandate: his approval rating sat at 52% on 1 January 2030. Most major political analysts projected that Iarnán was in a "good, but not great" position for reelection, and that much of the year's result would depend on the intracacies of the campaign. Iarnán's opponents, both from the right and left, leveled two main accusations at him which became the focus of the ensuing campaign despite continued efforts by Solidarity to change the narrative.
Pace of reforms
During the 2025 Urcean elections, Iarnán and Solidarity made significant campaign promises both related to implementation of the Model Economy as well as electoral reform. Neither came to be during the 2026-30 term, although the Model Economy was implemented as a pilot program. Although the National Pact opposed both of these issues, its top leaders nonetheless seized on these two issues in particular to demonstrate Iarnán was an ineffective leader and that the Solidarity-led Daoni was a "do-nothing" body for the 2026-30 session. These attacks were amplified from the left, a constituency which supported both measures, stating that Iarnán had misled the public on these reforms and had no intention of fully delivering either item. By February, a series of television, internet, and radio ads run by both the Pact and Social Labor Party began to have a noticable impact on polling figures, with a 22 Feburary 2030 poll of Urceans indicating that only 34% of Urceans believing that Iarnán was "fully capable" of delivering on his electoral promises.

After a decade and a half of major swings occurring in the Daoni beginning with the 2015 Urcean elections, the 2030 election presented largely a return to form for Urcean politics to the 1990s and early 2000s, with less than 50 total seats changing parties.

Working Families emerges
The major election night surprise was the 13 seat gain of the Working Families Party, a relatively minor political party whose Daoni members split from the Social Labor Party in 2026. The Party's left wing, religious-friendly message resonated with some voters who had traditionally been part of the left wing of the defunct Commonwealth Union. After the 2030 election, it had 18 seats, making it the third largest in the Daoni. Its 13 pickups came equally from the Social Labor Party and Solidarity Party in heavily urbanized areas.
