The Lord Governor-General is elected by the Noble Senate of Aurice. He must be a duke and serves a term of three years. He may not serve two consecutive terms, regardless of how much of the term was served. This is applicable to suffect terms where a Lord Governor-General is elected to serve the balance of the term of a newly deceased Lord Governor-General. The term of the Lord Governor-General begins on the second day of Amrulmoon and is completed on the first day of Amrulmoon
The election of a duke, who is essentially the family patriarch for his family house, adds greatly to the prestige of the ducal house and there is a noted distinction between gubernatorial ducal houses, that is houses who have previously or presently served as Lord Governor-General, and those ducal houses who have no such service. Nearly all senatorial houses and most ducal houses existed well before the creation of the Noble Republic and thus before the creation of the office of Lord Governor-General.
Only senators may vote for the new Lord Governor-General. The election is held on the last or second to last day of Addanmoon during the last full year of the current term of office. The Provincial Chamber elects the Lieutenant Governor-General of Aurice on the same day as the Senate. The Senate first must deliberate and choose at least two candidates for the office. The lord of the rank begins by giving the name of each ducal senator, one by one and all the members of that rank and the members of the rank vote aye or nay. If a majority plus one vote 'aye' then the ducal senator is retained as a prospective candidate. Otherwise, he is removed as a prospective candidate.
The Senate votes by rank, starting with the Dukes, then the Counts, then the Barons, and finally the Metropolitan Senators.
