Elections were held for the electoral period of (:turn) 61 to (:turn) 80. The participating candidates were [[Characters~Bolv'ar]] and [[Characters~Acehtoo]], one fewer candidate than in the previous two elections.

Senator Bolv'ar of the [[Confederacy of Excaria]], supported by the [[Federal Republic of Bisidn]] and the [[New Communist Imperium of the Rising Suns of Deominius]] advocated a [[https://www.fwurg.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=576|military strategy]] to grow the Unions defensive military power. Current Chancellor Acehtoo herself went with an [[https://www.fwurg.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=574|expantionist strategy]], and a plan for more aid for [[Minor Worlds]] with the aid of the [[Divine Fiefdom of Highmons]] and the [[Holy Heimgolian Theocracy]].

After two successful elections, Chancellor Acehtoo was finally defeated in a landslide victory for Senator Bolv'ar, no doubt in part due to the threat of being drawn into the war between the [[Slave Rebellion]] and the [[Hutt Families]] on one side and the [[Mandalorian Fleets|Mandalorian]] threat on the other side of the Union.

^ Final Results ^^
