Election Results
Today, at 01:45 AM CET, the Test Congress Election results were tallied.
The first Blockchain election system was, for the first time, in full operation, ensuring election results were final and immutable.
The process was algorithmic (decided on a few simple rules) and, therefore, absolutely transparent. This system is uniquely able to remove doubt from elections, which we see occurring in many countries that are still resorting to traditional means. We hope to be the first pioneer of what will soon become common practice.
Liberland Test Congress Elections result in the re-election of the current Congress plus the addition of three new names. These are new to Congress but certainly not new to Liberland.
The absolute winner of this election is an incumbent Congress member and Liberland’s tech lead Dorian Stern Vukotić, who has become the “Prime Member”, or the Speaker, of the Congress. Where a Congressperson remains silent, they will automatically follow the vote of the Speaker.
Next to Speaker Vukotić, we see all three Members of the Congress from the previous Election Period re-elected. These other re-elected incumbents are:
- Navid Saberin
- Joseph “Joey” Langenbrunner
- Michal Ptáčník
Since this is the first Test Election where the Congress gets its intended initial number of seats, that is, seven, three new names appear in this august body to fill the three new seats:
- Jan Purkrábek
- Nicolas Mateos
- Steven Wollett
All three are extremely seasoned Liberlanders and well-known and well-respected members of our national community.
We at the Provisional Government hereby congratulate all the winners and look forward to the Congress’s ever-increasing role in our political system.
Bios of the Members of Congress will follow as they become available to us:
