Hello,

As the title says, I have some questions about sectors and elections, I don't think they were already answered:

-During the elections, do the pops actually vote for the different candidates? If not, what are the consequences of giving or not the right to vote to some parts of your population, aside from the +/- happiness?

-Do the AI has to deal with the planet control limit and sector creation? It might sound a bit silly since they're not really autonomous as far as we know, so it would just be AI delegating its planets to the AI, but If they don't have to create sectors, how does that impact the leader limit and influence spending for the AI? And migration/ideological segregation?

I think the pops do vote on leader candidates but from the 2 elections we've seen in the Blorg streams, ultimately the player decided who wins. You get a choice of 4 different leaders, though this may be because of the Blorg's Government type and may change from type to type.

The player MAY decide to interfere in elections, by expending political power on an endorsement, but is not obliged to do so.

Maybe, but so far we've only seen election screens saying "if we do not interfere a random candidate will be elected", so I don't know what to think about it.
