The state's capital and seat of government is the city of [[Aurimá]], located just south of the state's geographic center. The commonwealth is organized into three branches of government – the executive branch consisting of the [[Governor of Verona|Governor]] and the other independently elected constitutional officers; the legislative branch consisting of the [[Verona Chamber of Emissaries|Chamber of Emissaries]] and [[Senate of Verona]]; and the judicial branch consisting of the [[Supreme Court of Verona]] and lower courts. All candidates in the primary elections are listed on the ballot with their preferred party affiliation, but they are not the official nominee of that party. At the primary election, the two candidates with the top votes will advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation. If at a special primary election, one candidate receives more than 50% of all the votes cast, they are elected to fill the vacancy and no special general election will be held. | The state's capital and seat of government is the city of [[Aurimá]], located just south of the state's geographic center.
