No-no-no-nooooo.
Here in Mordor and especially in Gorgoroth we do things a little differently. Our tradition is that we always set only one candidate. Then no one votes. The candidate gets 100% out of 0 votes and is elected with even purer majority and democratic mandate then that of Josef Stalin (98,6%) or Kim Il Sung (99,8%).
Orcs of Moria being purists and traditionalists run their elections differently. They nominate multiple candidates. Then the candidates have it out with scimitars till only one lives and then everyone votes for him. Voting is mandatory. This system has problems however. Orcs not being very smart, the dead candidates end up getting votes, so the democratic mandate of the winner becomes tarnished 98% or so. We Mordor orcs are much more civilised. We take care of any exess candidates behind the scenes.

PS. Sorry for the wrong pronoun. I'll try to remember you are a she. For some reason I think I knew that already, but being a Finn in the real world, I mess up with those all the time. My native language has only one shared pronoun for he/she. Sorry.
