A central figure of the new republic was the position of Arbiter. The Arbiter is the primary owner of all Volterran groups and Discord while fulfilling all the responsibilities of Arbiter as outlined in the constitution. Any citizen was eligible to be voted in as the Arbiter and each citizen gets 1 vote during the election. The election of the Arbiter ran October 1-7th with polls being closed at 6:00 PM on October 7th. The election had a turnout of 70%. At noon on October 8, the results of the vote were announced. The former Lord Regent, Mickale was voted into the position with an absolute majority. Given that the position is a lifelong appointment, there will be no other elections for the position unless Mickale abdicates the role.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/17367rx/the_establishment_of_the_crowned_republic_of/</ref>

The November election of 2023 saw a voter turnout of 50%. This election saw a record 126 votes cast. Previous Lord Paramount Highboy requested that people not cast their vote for him due to a lack of time to commit to Volterra during that month, resulting in him not being elected to the Senate.

The December election of 2023 saw a voter turnout of 61.11%. The limited amount of candidates and decreased total votes cast are because of legislation passed by the Second senate. The First Amendment to the Volterran Constitution reconfigured citizenship in Volterra in order to ensure that only those who are active in Volterra were able to run and vote. The candidates in this election were all primarily active in Volterra rather than other states. Another note in this election is that despite having received the most votes, What777 did not become the Lord Paramount due to section 1.14 of the constitution which has been interpreted to prohibit consecutive terms. Given that What777 was the previous Lord Paramount, a runoff election was had between the four eligible candidates. The two main contenders of this runoff were Seldomshock and Hoover, both members of the Shockton Party. Previous Lord Paramount What777 endorsed Seldomshock. Despite being an active candidate in the election, Highboy endorsed Seldomshock. Ultimately, ItzHoover won the runoff election and became the third Lord Paramount of Volterra. Hoover won with 6 votes (including an endorsement from the Arbiter Mickale), Seldomshock had 5 votes, and Jefe had 2 votes.
