Politician Archive

This may be a silly question, but I havent really looked into the Politician profession before since I didnt want to use my skill points for it, but here it goes anyway.

Do you have to win an election and remain mayor to receive politican XP?

Thanks for your time

From the FAQ (included in the sticky thread at the top of this forum):

Q: How does a Politician get experience?

A: Simply: by getting citizens to vote for them. For every vote, a Politician receives 300xp that is granted at the end of a city's three-week voting cycle. In addition, incumbent mayors recieve 750xp weekly. You can check the standings of the election at any time by using the voting terminal located in the main room of city hall.

Q: How does a mayor get elected?

A: Mayoral elections take place every three weeks, starting from the time a city hall is placed. At the city voting terminal located inside city hall, citizens can vote for registered candidates. A citizen may change their vote at any time during the three week cycle or may choose to abstain. Any citizen with a minimum of Novice Politician may register to run during the first two weeks of the voting cycle only (an e-mail will be sent to all citizens informing them of a new candidate). Registered candidates may unregister as well to withdraw from the election. The existing Mayor must register in order to run in the election. At the end of the three week cycle, the candidate with the most votes wins the election and becomes Mayor. Uncast votes count as abstentions. When a new Mayor is elected, the old Mayor loses all mayoral powers.
