democratic_election Console Command

The democratic_election command in Stellaris is used to immediately initiate a democratic ruler election in your empire.

This command is useful in scenarios when you want to change your current ruler without waiting for their term to end naturally.

When you use this console command, the election starts immediately, and your empire's population will vote for a new ruler, disregarding the regular timeline for the elections.

This command is particularly useful in situations when your existing ruler's traits are not suitable for your current gameplay strategy, or when you want to shift your empire's political landscape on the fly.

For instance, if your existing ruler has traits that increase military ship construction speed, but your current gameplay strategy is focused more on research and technology, you might want to use this command to elect a new ruler whose traits are more in line with your gameplay strategy.
