The President was directly elected in elections every 4 years, on could be removed by a 2/3rds majority of the Brissican Assembely. Only those who were registered to Roll A could be President. In total, there were only 4 presidents during the Brissiac Republic, and there have been 9 since 1984 when Brissiac has existed as the Region of Brissiac within Kolda.
Nomination and Election[edit | edit source]
Before 1984, candidates needed to be registered to Roll A, a designation limited to only Arrivee and Lehvantian voters. Additionally, candidates had to be 35 years of age and had to be landowners. Once these requirements were met, candidates had to either be nominated by a registered political party or had to finish in the top 4 of the jungle primary. To become President, a candidate had to receive the greatest number of votes, for example, Ferrand Benichou won the 1966 Election with 44.1% of the vote.
