Elections in Dryicor

Dryicor has four types of election:
 * General elections, in which all 98 seats in Parlamentti are up for grabs
 * Regional elections, in which voters elect part of the council
 * Municipal elections, where voters elect their kihlakunta councillors.
 * Sámi elections, where voters with certified heritage can vote for the Sámi Parliament.

General elections
Dryicor uses a curious hybrid of a system with party lists for 60 of the seats, and voting based on kihlakuntat for the 38 others with a  system in each (changed from  in 1966).

In a general election, both sets of seats are up for grabs, and each voter receives two ballots.
 * Their first is for their county ballot, with candidates vying to represent their local area. The 38 kihlakunta seats are allocated for a certain number for each region: Aber receives 8, Kontturi receives 9, Laajamaa receives 4, Honganiemi receives 9 and Tuotalla receives 8.
 * Their second is for their national ballot, allocated using a nationwide proportional representation system, where the number of seats is roughly equal to the national percentage of their votes.

Candidates may stand as both a list candidate and to represent a parliamentary constituency, but must represent a constituency if they win in both and vacate their list spot, which will go to the next candidate.

Parties will generally prepare a 60-strong list in order of preference for their seats. Usually, the Prime Minister and their cabinet will be top (unless they represent a constituency).

The system has been praised for ironing out some of the issues with pure constituency voting: due to the national ballot seats outweighing the constituencies, an effective checks-and-balances system is in place between both when Parlamentti is sitting. It also makes it easier for deserving parties to gain majorities and for smaller parties to do well. It also allows independents to run in a constituency even if they don't belong to a party (one of the general complaints of MMPR). The overall weighting towards the proportionally-allocated list seats also diminish the influence of safe constituency seats for certain parties.

However, the Dryicoran system has been criticised for the constituencies not being particularly equal in size, and relying on local authorities to dish them out co-ordinated with the impartial Electoral Commission. This has been credited with making this system more susceptible to gerrymandering than MMPR usually is. Also, the list seats often act in practice as an insurance choice against a candidate losing a constituency battle, which has been said (combined with Dryicor's unicameral system) with creating a closed shop of representatives.

General elections are held every four years aside from if a snap election is called, in which case the cycle resets.
