Test elections are the proving ground for the World Republic. They serve a dual purpose:
  1. Political incubation: Giving new political parties a platform to form, campaign, and build a support base before binding governance begins.
  2. Technical stress test: Ensuring our voting system, identity verification, and result calculations are secure and scalable.

​
How it works

Unlike traditional elections with complex qualification rules, our test elections are designed for maximum openness.
  • Automatic ballot access: Every registered party automatically appears on the ballot. There are no signature requirements or filing fees.
  • Iterative schedule: Elections occur iteratively as we refine the system. Once the technological foundation is stable, we will move to a regular, predictable election cycle.

​
Real incentives

While the political outcomes of test elections are not yet binding, the economic outcomes are real. Participating parties earn drachma subsidies based on their performance. This funding allows serious parties to hire staff, create content, and grow their movement during this incubation phase.

The path to binding governance

We are currently in the incubation phase. As the system matures and participation grows, we will gradually increase the stakes.
  1. Phase 1 (current): Test elections. Non-binding governance, but real economic rewards.
  2. Phase 2: Limited governance. Winning parties vote on platform parameters.
  3. Phase 3: Full sovereignty. Binding global elections for the World Republic administration.
