[OOC: Um, yeah, the poll broke on the last one. Tryin' it again. So vote again!]
Normally, there would not be elections for Vice President until the Imperial President reached his 60th year.
But the Imperial President has insisited, having no one to take his place, which he believes is required in this world's volitile climate, giving continuity to the government should some disaster occur.
This election will, of course, not provide for change over night, but in the future, great change could occur.
After about a month of campaigning, the field has been narrowed to the following canidates.

Platform:
International Relations: Peace, is our goal. We should be able to arrive at peace without force of arms. We should be able to have peace without conflict.
Internal Relations: We should try to move away from the military industrial complex that occupies our society, and strive for a more balanced economy, shifting away from military production, to create more products for the people.
Budgetary Priorities: Education is how we will excel, so we must support that. We must also support domestic industry, but keep away from welfare.
