The Ultimate Election Simulator
Run a complete campaign, from primaries to the general election, across a living political map of the United States. Over 3,000 counties are modeled with real-world demographics, party registrations, and ideological positions, creating endless possibilities. Every rally, speech, and advertisement impacts the number of votes you'll get.
Run For President, Congress, or Governor
Each campaign features thousands of real-life and randomly generated characters with unique backgrounds, personalities, traits, and attributes. Campaign as any of them, or your own character, to become the next President of the United States or the Governor of Florida. The choice is yours.
Plan Your Strategy
Plan your weekly moves and adapt to new conditions. Open field offices, build volunteer networks, buy advertisements, hire staff, and schedule events in any county and state you see fit. But don't run out of money!
Unpredictable Events
No race is the same. Debates, scandals, endorsements, and breaking news can swing the polls overnight. Your opponents will react to your tactics and counter with strategies that match their political style, strengths, and weaknesses.
Real-Life and Custom Candidates
Play as a real politician or create a custom candidate. Select unique traits and attributes that affect your campaign’s strengths and vulnerabilities. Will you charm voters as Barack Obama? Dominate the airwaves as Donald Trump? Or brutally attack your rivals with your own candidate? The choice is yours.
Dynamic Polls
Track your progress with several in-game pollsters who take new polls every week. Every poll could be wildly inaccurate or right on the money. You truly won't know who's going to win until Election Day.
Election Night Drama
Experience the tension of the results coming in live, state by state, county by county. Watch the map shift in real time as votes are counted and momentum swings. Every decision you made on the trail culminates in this moment. Will you see a glorious victory? Or suffer a shocking upset?
An Election Sandbox
Play through historical scenarios with real-world data. Can you defeat Reagan as Carter? Or defeat FDR in 1940? And, predict the future in 2028 and beyond.
A Global Vision
While your journey begins in the United States, The Electorate is built for international expansion. Future updates will feature elections from the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, and more, each with its own political system, voter behavior, and campaign challenges.
