United Nations - 1945 General Election

The 1945 General Election was held on 9th May 1945, with preliminary voting beginning on 4th April 1945.

Beginning of the Electoral System
The system is based off of electoral voting in the United States. Each territory was assigned electoral votes based on population at the time, with some extra electoral votes given to more politically stable, economically successful, and powerful nations. Most of the electoral divisions were based on culture, but some lumped cultures together and some divided them to give parties there a fairer chance.

Electoral Provinces and Results
Because the first general election was first thought of in late 1944, not much time had been put in to find divisions. There were only seven provinces and they were all given an equal amount of electoral votes to cast: 25. The United Nations at the time had 10 members. The nations who were in the UN but didn't get representation in the first seven provinces were the Netherlands, Belgium and Greece. The United Kingdom would be divided between its constituent countries. Wales and Scotland didn't get individual representation, but the United Kingdom government represented England's electoral votes.

In the 1945 election, the main two parties were the Worldwide Labour Initiative, against the Worldwide Conservative Union. These two names were based off of the United Kingdom's Labour and Conservative party respectively. The Worldwide Labour Initiative went by the short hand Labour, or World Labour party while the Worldwide Conservative Union went by the short hand Conservatives, World Conservatives, the Whigs, the Tories, or the Republicans in some countries.

There were three more parties, all of which failed to reach 1% of the popular vote. These were the extremist left wing party, the Socialists; the Central party known as the Centrists or Central-Democrats; and the extreme right wing party, the Nationalists.
