Urist McMayor has been re-elected!

(1/4) > >>

Hippoman:
I've had the same mayor be re-elected since day one of mayor-ship.

its been 6 years and about 8 elections.
is this normal?

smjjames:
Yea, the first mayor (which is usually your expedition leader, unless he/she dies before that point) is often re-elected mayor for many years.

Hippoman:
last time it only happened 3 times in a row.

G-Flex:
In the modern US, senators sometimes get re-elected for decades, so I don't find it particularly odd.

I have no idea what determines the popularity, but often times the first one seems to sort of retire from mayor after a long while. Sometimes they get elected again for brief periods though.
