The January 2023 Delegate election is an ongoing election in the South Pacific from 1‒21 January 2023 to elect the next Delegate of the South Pacific for a six-month term. Incumbent anjo was the only legislator to accept their nomination and thus faces off only against the Re-Open Nominations option. After scoring unanimous approval in the first round, the polls for the second round are due to open on 14 January.
Background
Delegate elections in the South Pacific take place every six months, with one scheduled in January and another in July. According to the Elections Act, a Delegate election had to be called on the 1st of January, 2023.
Electoral System
The Delegate is elected in a two-step process. In a first round, held on the forums, legislators of the South Pacific determine two advancing candidates using approval voting. The top-two (or more, should there be a tie) most-approved candidates move on to a regional poll held on-site, where regional World Assembly member nations ultimately vote on the winner using the two-round system.
Candidates were required to hold on-site endorsements equal to at least 80% of the general endorsement cap at the conclusion of candidacy declarations, translating to 455 endorsements[2] Eligible were Tepertopia (anjo), Griffindor (Ebonhand), Poppy, PenguinPies, Tsunamy, Land Without Shrimp, Farengeto, Concrete Slab, Amerion, Kris Kringle, and Sandaoguo.
The declarations and campaigning periods would run concurrently for a week, after which the first round of voting would be held, lasting three days. A day after this concludes, the second round of voting would commence, with the poll remaining open for another week. Thereafter, the Election Commissioner would proclaim the results.[2]
Campaign
Incumbent anjo was the only person to accept their nomination; Tsunamy mentioned thinking it over but ultimately did not respond further, while Griffindor declined his and Poppy never responded to theirs.[2]

anjo's campaign started with a look back on his term and evaluating how the implementation of his campaign promises from the last election fared, finding e.g. the RMB Awards and the Delegate's Briefing to be successes, the Endorsement Days to have had mixed reception, and the "question of the day" format to have been dropped early. His new platform primarily revolved around continuing his work from this term, plus a few small adjustments including creating a publicly accessible RMB Awards live leaderboard and regularly holding on-site polls once the RMB moderators amendment replaces the Local Council, of whom polls were the traditional domain.[3]
Results
Election Commissioner Kris Kringle proclaimed the results for the first round on 13 January.[1] The overall results will follow some time after second-round polls close on 21 January.[4]
