Actually the Roman Republic kinda had an electoral college system, just based on class, not regions. (Well, the Tribal Assembly was kinda based on region, but that's not as commonly used) Edit: Oof...Lepidus is just "a third guy".

Theoretically, you could win each province with 2 votes each. Just have everybody except for 2 of them vote for a unique party, and the remaining 2 vote for yours. You will have the majority.

@DaRealKakarroto 17 дней назад

As a proud inhabitant of Pannonia Superior, I say we keep our glorious system the same, the Imperial faction has always had all our best in mind, and we need to keep backing them up. Especially in their endeavours across the Danube, you can see their good will and intend to serve us all, not like the senatorial faction, who intents to just increase taxes for some more far away circuses.

@hidderaven7890 18 дней назад

Would have been cool if you added somthing about only roman citizens being allowed to vote, but still counting for the electoral college. Maybe each non citizen count for 3/5's of a citizen for the electoral votes. With large parts of the border provinces not being citizens, this would rig the vote even further infavour of the imperial factions.
