In D'Hara, barely any of our lordship elections get more than one candidate, and barely any of them ever write for their candidacy, and if they do, very rarely more than 1 letter.
I find this to be a near universal truth. Few lordship elections ever attract more than one or two candidates, and there is rarely ever any controversy or discussion about it. If there are a few candidates then you may get an endorsement letter or two from some interested parties.
I do agree that this could be due to the wide availability of titles. Getting a lordship really isn't all that big of a deal, unless it's for an important (i.e. rich) region. If it were difficult to get lordships, then perhaps it would lead to more involvement in elections. But this ties back to the whole player density thing. Increasing character count won't do anything about it, unless it is a result of increasing player count.
