Mayor Election

Mayors are NPCs that give global buffs and perks when elected by players during an election with five random candidates which occurs every five real-life days. Players vote by entering the Election Room via the teleport pad in the Community Center while the voting period is open. Each mayor, with exceptions, has three perks, though not all three are available every time they run. Candidates for the next election are revealed and can be voted on from midnight on Late Summer 27th to midnight on Late Spring 27th of the following year, at which point the election ends and the mayor with the most votes is active. Candidates are more likely to appear with less of their perks than all three, especially if they have been recently elected.

Mayor Elections were added in Hypixel SkyBlock's 0.9 Update, with the first election taking place in SkyBlock Year 88. Whilst Dante is elected as mayor, all of the election events scheduled in the Calendar and Events menu are canceled and replaced with Dante Elections, where all five candidates are Dante.

Candidates
All descriptions quoted from Hypixel SkyBlock 0.9.

A pattern in Perks seems to be one (XP) Boost, one (Stat) Buff, and one Festival/Discount for each candidate. Perks apply to all SkyBlock islands unless stated otherwise.

The colors of the candidates' names seem to be dynamic and change based on placement position in the election room.

Dante Election
When Dante is elected, regular mayor elections are replaced with Dante Elections. All of the 5 candidates are replaced by Dante's clones and voting for one of them results in the vote being applied to all of the candidates. That means that the vote cannot be changed and the election result is always 100% for Dante. There used to be a bug where Seraphine is the clerk present in the Election Room instead of Clerk Goon, however, it was fixed.

On the Alpha Hypixel Network
At the beginning of the Alpha Hypixel Network:
 * Mayor Elections were fully-functional and were held separately from the Main Server.

At some point (Note: This section is only based on testimony. Unconfirmed.):
 * Mayor Nancy was the placeholder mayor on the Alpha Hypixel Network.
 * Players can still enter the Election Room to vote. However, the election does not end, and no new mayor is elected.
 * The "candidates" are:

After some point in January 2022:
 * Mayor Paul became the placeholder mayor. He appears outside the Election Room, and inside next to the Ballot Box. Whether his perk is available is unknown. On interact, it will only give
 * The Election Room is still present. However, it will almost instantly teleport the player out when they attempt to get in.
 * The "candidates" are, in left-to-right order: Diaz, Barry, Aatrox, Marnia, Cole.
 * Attempting to click on the Ballot Box in the middle of the Election Room will show the message

Trivia

 * Each regular candidate can offer up to 3 perks at once. All candidates start with 1 perk during their first election, and have a chance to stack up to 3 perks if they are a returning candidate.
 * During the time the booth is open, players may change their vote. Players may cast only a single vote, but the weight of that vote is increased by the player's Fame Rank.
 * Once the election ends, the candidate with the most votes becomes Mayor for the next SkyBlock year, granting their perks to every SkyBlock player for that time period.
 * Each time the Election room is open, players can vote for 5 candidates out of the total 12. There are 8 normal candidates and 4 special candidates.
 * Every 8 elections a special candidate will be part of the 5 candidates for election.
 * Derpy is the only candidate to have 4 perks.
 * Technoblade is the only mayor to have 5 perks and technically 11 perks.
 * Jerry becoming a mayor was leaked by Minikloon on his Twitter. Additionally, Dctr leaked the first perk, "Perkpocalypse" on his Twitter a day later.
 * Jerry's Perkpocalypse does not include special mayors.
 * Diaz is the only regular candidate that only has 2 perks.
 * Diaz's perk, "Shopping Spree" also applies to trades.
 * Dante is the only candidate that swaps perks after the election.
 * Barry is the only regular candidate that has yet to been elected.
 * Diaz was another regular candidate that had never been elected before. However, she was elected for the first time on June 30 2021, so she no longer applies here.
 * Barry and Jerry are the only candidates that buff damage

 * Barry has +15% increased spell damage
 * If no Mayor is elected for some reason, Mayor Nancy will appear as a placeholder.
