Elective Monarchism

"Not to be confused with Constitutional Monarchism."

Elective Monarchism, shortened to Elecmon, is a non-quadrant monarchist ideology. Elecmon was born as an alternative to lineage based monarchies who had a tendency to result in succession crisis after a few generations. The voting powers are usually only held by high ranking nobles and influential clergy members.

He believes that the state should be based around a monarch (ranging from Absolute to  Ceremonial) that instead of being hereditary, should be elected. Usually the monarchial candidates would be elected by a specific pool of nobles, but this process could theoretically stretch "to the plebs".

History
Elective monarchism was born in the antique era. One of his most notable appearances was in Rome during Roman kingdom era. He is also known for the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Jerusalem. He made a semi-comeback in the renaissance with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
