The third General Election of WolvHaven was held from 13 to 15 October 2017 to form the House of Representatives (HOR) of the 8th Parliament of WolvHaven.

The election was the first with the new extended parliament terms. This meant that parliamentary terms were to be extended to 6 months instead of 3 and gave the senate the power to call for a snap election after 3 months from the time of the previous election in the event where the current government had a low approval rating.

Election Results

Due to the way the vote turned out, 3 overhang seats were added to Parliament, requiring 10 seats for a majority. However, as the      Democratiam did not have a 3rd candidate, the 3rd seat won by Democratiam was left vacant, effectively requiring 9 seats for a majority.

This election was also the first that required the addition of overhang seats as the number of seats is always rounded up. This resulted in 3 additional overhang seats to the parliament of WolvHaven, making the total number of seats 18.
