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.

 * Seraphine's Dialogue changes.

On the Alpha Hypixel Network
NOTE: Due to the difficulty presented in recording Mayor Elections on the Alpha Hypixel Network which occationally shuts down and reopens, it will be done sparsely on Mayor Election/Alpha Hypixel Network, with no plans for it to be integrated to our main table (i.e. with no fancy features).

Normal State:
 * Mayor Elections were fully-functional and were held separately from the Main Server.

Shortly after the AHN reopened (Old Behaviour) :
 * Mayor Nancy becomes the placeholder mayor on the Alpha Hypixel Network.
 * The timer outside the Election Room will still run in sync with the Main Server. When election begins, players can still enter the Election Room to vote.
 * A new mayor is then elected for the following year. The cycle of a fully-functional Mayor Election will then begin until another shut-down of the Alpha Network.

Shortly after the AHN reopened (Current Behaviour) :
 * Election is "closed". However, the timer outside the Election Room will still run in sync with the Main Server.
 * Ballot Box and Seraphine dialogue follows the version when election is closed.
 * A random mayor becomes the placeholder mayor. It appears outside the Election Room, and inside next to the Ballot Box. Whether its perk is available is unknown. On interact, it will only give
 * The Election Room is still present when votings happens in the Main Server. However, it will almost instantly teleport the player out when they attempt to get in. If there is enough ping, a player can interact with the NPCs and Ballot Box inside before it teleports you out.
 * On the next election, a random mayor is elected. The cycle of a fully-functional Mayor Election will then begin until another shut-down of the Alpha Network.

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.

 * 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.
