These include entrepreneur Evan Luthra, journalist Jillian Godsi, former Croatian politician Ivan Pernar, and IT professional Dorian Stern Vukotić.
Liberland’s Unique Electoral Process
According to Liberland’s spokespersons, the election was conducted using an algorithmic system designed to enhance transparency and eliminate doubts over election results. “The election process, governed by a simple set of rules, was entirely algorithmic, providing transparency,” the statement read. The micronation expressed its hope to set a precedent for other countries by embracing technology in their election processes. “We hope to be a pioneering example of what will soon become common practice,” they added.
