Lord Governor-General of Aurice
The Lord Governor-General of Aurice is the highest executive office of the Noble Republic of Aurice. The office was created in 2628 after the Aurician Revolution in 2627.
Election of Lord Governor-General
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 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.
Only senators may vote for the new Lord Governor-General.
