I just wanted to give you all a heads up on how your first election will run. There may be a bit of confusion based on how it operates in reality versus how you're expecting it to work.

Currently if you go to your city hall terminal and select the maintenance option you will get a system message telling you when your city event is due to happen. This is your election time and it will vary depending on server downtime.

When this timer reaches 0, your Election will occur.

HOWEVER there will be no immediate visible action. This is the trigger and your city event is now processing. This processing will take an indeterminant amount of time. When the processing is complete, maintenance will be withdrawn from the treasury and the election results will be sent out to all citizens. If there's a new mayor they will take over when the event finishes.

This is normal and to be expected. They may have it changed to something more meaningful by Thursday, but if not do not be surprised of you see "error" and do not panic. There's no need to bother customer service, and there's no need to come to the forums and say "It didn't work." Just be patient and it will happen. It just may take a while depending on server load.

lol, planika already posted on this so ppl wouldn't start getting all upset, guess it helped in that there are hardly any posts on the matter its normal but i wonder how long it'll take it to do its final checks... *twiddles thumbs and waits patiently*

Are you guys finished yet with this "process"? How long did it take?

/tap and waiting for the "error" to clear up

Yeah, this silly message had us worried as well. Why not 'processing' instead of 'error'?

Anyway... it took about one hour for the process to complete.

lol figures, I opend plinkas thread when i got home from work, but didnt have time to read it as it was 20 minutes before the city changed, so i just minimized it to read when all the flames settled down from the city expanding, then when I got the error of course I rushed here to see if anyone else did but didnt see any posts about it

It took about 5 minutes and then it was allll good
