Since 1707, the wizarding community in Great Britain and Ireland voted many times to elect a Minister for Magic to head the British Ministry of Magic (which also had jurisdiction over the magical community in Ireland). Wizarding law stated there had to be at least one election for Minister every seven years. Some Ministers had been elected two or more times, but occasionally an incumbent was voted out of office in favour of a new Minister.[1]
Known elections[]
- 1718: Election of Damocles Rowle, who was elected on a platform of being 'tough on Muggles.'[1]
- 1959: Election of Ignatius Tuft. Capitalised on his mother's popularity to gain election.[1]
- c. 1998: The formal election of Kingsley Shacklebolt took place some time after he was named as a 'caretaker Minister.'[1]
