==== Preamble ====
Ever wanted to bring ''real'' change to Prism Party? Now's your chance! Starting now, players can run for the office of Mayor on Prism Party and get Staff to bring about changes the server ''really'' needs.

==== What are elections? ====
Elections are a new feature exclusive to Prism's Season 3 Survival. Elections allow players to run for office by submitting a campaign on the Prism Party website or vote for candidates to represent the community as a Mayor of Spawnia. 

Each candidate running for office can pick up to three "promises" that the Staff team must fulfill during that Mayor's month-long tenure if they're elected. In short, Elections give the community a chance to vote for the features they want to see most, and give those who are elected Mayor a way to be involved in the update process (if they desire). 

Best of all, being a mayor is easy! Just submit a small application and collect the votes of your fellow players! No speeches, planning, or... well, politics required!

==== Interested in leading the server? ====
Sure you are! It's easy! Simply read the Election page linked above, then fill out your campaign application by clicking the big orange button on the website.

Once submitted, you're in the running! Voting starts July 16, 2024, so act fast! You must have your campaign application submitted before the voting phase if you wish to run in the elections.

Best of luck, candidates!
