The 3nd Spawn Town Election was held between November 1-4 at 5:00 AM (UTC) on both days and of 2023 and is the most consequential one on RetroMC to date.
This was another election to select the new mayor of Spawn Town; the role itself is mostly ceremonial.
Candidates had to pay the election commitee ( 16.png CruxyMC) $2000 before Oct 31st 2023 at 12:00 AM (24:00, UTC).

Background

On October 26th of 2023, CruxyMC made a public forum post on the RMC Discord guild for a call to action on gathering possible candidates for the 3rd Spawn Town election and in under 24 hours, the candidates arrived and participated.
The election was supposed to be held sometime during the summer vaction, but was delayed due to a low player count and lack of quality candidates to field from.
The main issue that candidates ran into was action, or lack thereof - the 2 leading candidates, 16.png Meowser_ and 16.png aq2a, felt that the then-incumbent 16.png Orknarok_666 didn't do enough as mayor.
