[1.0.3](48f6) - Single-candidate election

[arisian]

As an Illuminated Technocracy, when leaders die and get removed from the election candidate pool, they don't seem to be getting replaced. There were four, I picked one; when that one died, there were only three choices, I picked one, etc. Eventually there was only one candidate left; she got "elected," of course, but I suspect that international observers would have some objections to the validity of that election

When she died, the new election had only one candidate, and that candidate was a new leader who was *NOT* one of the leaders in my empire. It was late game, and I had close to 20 leaders, mostly 4 or 5 star; with techs/policies, new leaders start with 3 stars as a baseline when recruited. Where this one-star guy with no skills came from I've got no idea, but even if you're looking for an "outside" candidate, I don't think anybody wants this nobody running a galaxy spanning empire.

I do have a few mods installed, but none of them should be touching governments or elections. I didn't have this problem earlier in the game; I *think* it might have started when I "upgraded" the government from Science Directorate to Illuminated Technocracy, but I'm not 100% sure of that (I don't have saves old enough to test it at this point).

Confirming the same with the same government form in 1.10 beta.
Under a Science Directorate I always had four candidates, since becoming an Illuminated Technocracy I no longer have a choice.

I have the same problem. I have plenty of scientists and now I just get the one.

Does not look like the Asimov patch beta has a fix for this listed.

This bug is still around, annoyingly....

I tried to leave the people from my home planet unmodified but it made no difference. It pulls candidates from your scientists and it will not allow aliens even if you allow everyone to take part in government sooooo I am back to single candidates.
