Election Schedule each month:

1st-2nd: Pre-Primary time, when players can declare themselves candidates
3rd: Primary elections, when one candidate from each party is chosen
to run for Governor
4th-5th: Pre-Election time, when players can get to know the candidates
6th: Election day; candidate with more votes becomes Governor,
candidate with fewer becomes Mayor
7th: New Governor and Mayor take office

Running for primaries costs 20 million gold and is reimbursed to the
victors.

You may only run on one of your characters as a candidate for Governor
or Mayor. Run on more than one, and both will be removed at your cost.
