| - The Sierra prime ministerial election of 2016 was held on Friday, October 14, 2016 and was the 39th quadrennial prime ministerial election. The election was held nationwide and was open to all eligible citizens in all three constituent countries of the Kingdom of Sierra: Deseret, Hawaii, and Sierra, excluding the unincorporated territories. The Royalist nominee, Senator Daniel McComb of San Joaquin, and his running mate, former Governor Leslie Steele of Kings, was elected into office, defeating the incumbent party, the Democratic-Republicans, and their nominee, Governor Terry Scott of San Francisco and his running mate, former Minister of Labor Catherine Mendoza. Due to the nature and voting method of the Sierran prime minister, in all technicality, all prime ministerial elections including the 2016 one have been effectively direct presidential elections. The election coincided with the 2016 Sierran general elections with seats for all Commoners in the House of Commons, all "Class-B" senators from the Senate, governors in 16 provinces, and numerous other provincial and local offices up for contest, with the Royalists securing a firm hold over both houses of Parliament. The initial Democratic-Republican nominee was incumbent Prime Minister Steven Hong, who, along with his running mate, Deputy Prime Minister Preston Bolivar, secured the nomination over the Democratic-Republican from San Francisco challenger, Governor Terry Scott. Hong was selected as the official nominee for the Democratic-Republicans in June, but less than three months later, during a special event along his campaign trail, Hong was assassinated on August 12, 2016, just two months before the election. Following Hong's untimely death, the party chose frontrunner Terry Scott as their new nominee. Prior to Hong's death, the dominant theme in the election year was foreign policy, particularly with Mexico, and the rise of Ameroskepticism against the Conference of American States. With Hong's death however, the prevailing theme was national security, and the resolution of crisis between the radical republicans and monarchists in Sierra, as well as the fate of the post-recession national economy. Other issues included education, healthcare, military spending, race relations, and taxation.
