The 2006 Gjorkan Presidental Election was an election held in Gjorka to determine the next president of Gjorka. Joseph Marnell easily defeated incumbent Joe Wallace by nearly 15 percentage points. Wallace's loss is primarily attributed to the Laura Samille Scandal which occurred a few months before the election in which it was revealed President Wallace had been having an affair with Samille since she was 16.
The Constitution of Gjorka espouses the President of Gjorka is elected to a five-year term in a popular vote election. Whoever garners the most votes in the election, shall be the next President of Gjorka. By law, the election is to be held June 30 every five years to give due process for a transition of power between administrations. As well, Presidents are allowed a maximum of two five year terms. Since President Joe Wallace had only been elected once in the 2001 election he was eligible to run for a second term and choose to do so.
