The election occurs every 8 standard years and goes co inside with the election for the Presient. The Office of the VP and President has lost much of their powers after the Peace Hawk incident and later during the Green Hell incient that led to the last Union / GC war.

The VP is a distinct Terran form of government office. Every decade the process of governing the Union via the Assembly becomes more refined and via their representatives or via direct issue votes, citizens partake directly in the process of government decisions and the Vice Presidents role and power has greatly diminished over the centuries and is now primarily a representative figure. It is concieveable that the office of the VP is soon eliminated.[1]
