His Majesty the Shahanshah has issued his sixth royal edict (I DEÑ 6) declaring that new elections shall be for 6 November 2020, following a request from the Prime Minister. The decision has been made that elections should be held following the upcoming merger of Hasanistan and Montescano, and also the fact that the Hasani government believes Mejlis elections should be held twice annually. This election will be the second legislative election and eight national vote (including referendums) in Hasani history.
The elections will be governed under the same electoral system that the previous election was, with a first-past-the-post constituency-based system. Those areas with only one candidate shall hold public votes of confidence rather than normal elections. Registration and campaigning may begin immediately.
The current state of emergency and COVID-19 pandemic was taken into consideration, granting clarity that plans have been established to postpone the election if the crisis may affect participation levels. Prime Minister Hasan Çakar stated regarding this matter "We implemented this due to the fears that the virus will not die out during the summer and we must always prepare for the worst case scenario".
