}}The '''March 2024 presidential election''' was a presidential election in [[NUSA]] and was the first presidential election held after the reset. It was held on March 14, 2024 and ended on March 16, 2024, with results released on March 17, 2024 at 7:25pm EST. The election saw the highest voter turnout in a long time in NUSA, with over 700 voters pre-filter and 575 votes that counted. 

In a highly competitive election where Senator [[GeorgeGodsent]], representing the [[Freedom Party]], faced off against WHCOS and former Vice President [[AdamStratton]] in the general election, George was declared the winner by over one hundred votes, winning him the election. George secured 57.39% of the vote.


Two independent challengers remained candidates in the race, even though they had under 4% of voter desire in the final poll before the election such as [[StopJosh_STOP]], and NUSA veteran [[AugmentedReaper]]. Independent challengers received a maximum of 10 votes in the election, with a total of 2.12% of the vote going to independent competitors.


Corruption, hiring processes, and diplomatic/foreign policy were headline issues for the election according to a poll conducted by MSNBC. [[GeorgeGodsent]], who would become the winner of the election, campaigned on a platform of anti-corruption and reformed hiring processes, making him a desirable option for voters.

== Polling==
Polls were heavy in favor of [[GeorgeGodsent]] after Publican nominee [[JordiHarris]] dropped out of the election citing 'personal issues' as his reason. Before Jordi's drop out, Jordi had a narrow lead in the polls over George. The polls conducted in the final days before the election showed George's heavy lead over new contender [[AdamStratton]].

=== '''Final poll before elections''' ===
Two days before voting opened, a final poll was administered. [[GeorgeGodsent]] continued to prevail, even though AdamStratton managed to gain a substantial amount of new support since the last poll.

==Publican Party==
In early February 2024, [[JordiHarris]] announced his bid for the presidency, and rapidly gained supporters. Soon after, [[Robbiebeastpro90000]], the incumbent president who ascended to the position after [[Akacoolguy96GPT]] was banned by group management, declared candidacy to try and snatch the Publican Party nomination from Harris. Harris eventually became a frontrunning candidate after reaching 270 members in his campaign server, and was projected to win the Publican nomination just a day into polls being open. He eventually did by a landslide.
