More than a year and a half after the Elections were originally called, and many months since the last development, it seems that the Gallente Elections are picking up again according to a news post made by CCP yesterday.

As the Federation shifts into election gear, billions of voters across Gallente space prepare to cast their votes in what looks to become one of the most hotly contested elections in the nation's history.

According to the latest numbers from the Federation's polling bureaus, presidential candidate Senator Mentas Blaque is currently in the lead with a public support rating of 54% to incumbent President Souro Foiritan's 46%.

Reactions from long-suffering roleplayers, having all but abandoned hope for a resolution to this particular story arc (let alone other major arcs), have regardless been somewhat cautious about the eventual impact of the news, as it is not yet known if the format of the event will continue unchanged.
