Incumbent President [[Gaius Selan]] announced on 15 November 3020 that he would not seek a second term in office as President, leaving open the possibility of a contested election.

+The '''2nd Annual Wiltshirian Presidential Election '''was held between 30 June and 2 July 3021 to elect the second [[President of Wiltshire]], to serve the term of 7 July 3021 until 13 February 3022. Incumbent President [[Gaius Selan]] announced on 15 November 3020 that he would not seek a second term in office as President, which saw a contested election in which Prime Minister [[Sonya Inyo]] was elected as the second President of Wiltshire.
-President Selan's trademark policy during his time in office has been the growth of the Wiltshirian military, notably the Wiltshire Navy and the development of the Cassin Young-class aircraft carrier. Selan would likely seek a second term if he felt this military expansion was at risk, given that he has said he would only appoint a Prime Minister who supported such actions.
+In July 3020, Sebastian Bashira announced that he would stand as a candidate. Following that, a total of eight candidates would announce their intentions. However, only two made it to election day: Prime Minister Sonya Inyo and Former Minevgrad Mayor Kurt Antonov. While the election was mostly dominated by issues surrounding the [[July 3021 Wiltshire Legislative Elections|general election]], voters were cast between the pro-government Inyo alliance and the anti-government Antonov alliance. Inyo soundly defeated Antonov with a majority of votes on the first ballot and was sworn in as President on 7 July 3021.
 == Procedure ==
-The only formal rules for the running of a presidential election comes from the Second Elections Act, 3020 which laid out the following criteria;<blockquote>"On the first Friday of every February, the citizens shall poll to elect a President of the Republic. The following Sunday shall commence the President-elect's term in office."</blockquote><blockquote>"The poll in the election of the President shall be conducted by the Elections Authority and shall franchise electors aged 18 and older not otherwise prohibited from voting by incarceration."</blockquote>The Elections Authority released the guidelines for the election as follows:<blockquote>"Candidates for the position of President of the Wiltshire Republic require nomination from three-thousand signatories on a nomination petition in order to access the national ballot in the poll..."</blockquote><blockquote>"... much like in the 3020 poll, this will be conducted via a multi-preference ranked choice ballot, with the candidate requiring a majority of votes cast in order to be elected. The Wiltshire National Assembly is then expected to certify the results of the poll within three working days of the election."</blockquote>
