mlieThe VOTE and LEADER Mod adds an election system to RimWorld where a new leader is chosen every 60 days by default. Pawns vote based on their ideoligion, social skill, relationships, criminal status, and other social factors, making colony leadership depend on internal politics instead of manual role assignment.
