While Day 2 of the election campaign would prove to be quiet, it did see the slow release of major party platforms from the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NVX8ysvbf8d9fE-J_L3S5Wu6VUKZWODR/view UPP] and [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fEVmlwlodJJLIgqOnK-Voaha3d9hPkqt/view Renew Pavia] party, joined the next day on June 13th by the release of [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zDZOPFOgNeNgACjrc9rYI4F1Cqyx93Ey/view Pavia First's]. Release of final manifestos unleashed another torrent of dueling accusations of inaction and financial impropriety against all parties. Both Renew Pavia and the UPP charged that the Interim PM had done precious little to alleviate the Coast Guard of its diamond debt while serving as First Lord of the Admiralty, while also arguing that the Pavia First manifesto had not been appropriately costed. The Interim PM responded that all parts of its manifesto had been written in line with the goal of generally uplifting Pavia's economy and therefore its financial stability. Both Renew and UPP leaders stated that they had personally engaged in mining efforts for both iron and diamond ore with the goal of supplying direct aid to Pavia's military budget. Questions over whether this portended a Renew-UPP coalition in the election and subsequent denials of such quickly led to conflict between the two parties over the responsibility for the Bedford Commons housing district between the Duchy of Bedford and the Bureau of Architecture. With the UPP labelling the Commons as 'slums', and proposing the imposition of greatly increased dual-citizenship fees, the Renew Party responded with firm support for the Commons' goal of providing newfriend housing, while charging that the UPP's denigration of foreigners leaves them unfit for a government role.
 
As campaigning continued, the various parties also continued releasing new campaign promises and made a number of press appearances in their bids to sway voters. Both the Renew and UPP candidates embarked on days-long, publicly-lauded mining ventures with the goal of acquiring fresh resources to support the Coast Guard and putting material towards other planned projects. Renew also began releasing a number of other day-one promises to the public, including the creation of a new, citizenry-elected position with a Mayor of Pavia and the passage of an omnibus infrastructure bill that would set up new security programs, create jobs, and overhaul both Pavian and allied infrastructure. The UPP later released a promise, to some pushback, to formalize the Church of 't' as the established religion of the Empire. Interim PM Cissonius withheld releasing further promises, instead pointing to their record in office since the resignation of PM CedarValiant. Polling indicated a sharp rise in Pavia First support, pushing over 70% approval of the government, and over 60% stating they were likely to vote Pavia First on the first balloting.
