| - The 2009 New Cambria general election took place on Saturday, 14 March, following the dissolution of the Assembly of Deputies of New Cambria by the President on Friday, 7 February. The electorate was given the task of choosing the 100 Deputies of the 17th Assembly, who then met on the first day of the month following 30 days after the election. The incoming assembly convened on 1 May to nominate a Prime Minister and ratify the Ministers of the Executive Council. The Social Democrat party won the election and gained nine seats, while the Independence party suffered a net loss of eight seats and were thus sent back into opposition. The National party, Independence's junior coalition partner in the previous Assembly, were nearly wiped out altogether, losing four of their five seats.

The electorate was given the task of choosing the 100 Deputies of the 17th Assembly, who then met on the first day of the month following 30 days after the election. The incoming assembly convened on 1 May to nominate a Prime Minister and ratify the Ministers of the Executive Council. The Social Democrat party won the election and gained nine seats, while the Independence party suffered a net loss of eight seats and were thus sent back into opposition. The National party, Independence's junior coalition partner in the previous Assembly, were nearly wiped out altogether, losing four of their five seats. On 27 April 2009, the Social Democrat, Green and Progressive parties reached agreement on a draft Programme for Government. This resulted in the formation of a coalition government on 1 May between the Social Democrats, Greens and Progressives. The Executive Council is also supported by three Non Party ADs. On the same date, voters elected the 580 members of New Cambria's 65 municipal councils, and the 126 members of the nine county councils. The presidential election was scheduled for the same date, though incumbent president Daniel Burns ran unopposed, and was therefore reelected without a ballot.
