The ruler election failed. We got this message:
Election Failed! (13 hours, 54 minutes ago)
The referendum "Vote for the Ruler" has ended. Here is the final tally:
8 abstentions
20 votes were not cast.
There were no valid choices for this referendum, so there was obviously no winner.
With the failure of the Ruler election, your realm is spiraling down into anarchy. The functioning of government is almost completely disrupted. Elections will begin shortly in the capital for a new ruler.
As a reminder, the full text of the referendum was:
This is an election for the position of Ruler (Grandmaster), initiated automatically because the position was vacated.
Only dukes will vote, representing their duchy.
So far, no election for ruler has begun, and I don't see an option to claim the rulership.
Any advice?
