Year 1 Pelican Town mayoral election

The Year 1 Pelican Town mayoral election was held on Fall 2, Year 1. Incumbent Mayor Lewis was defeated by new resident Walter White of the Meth Party, along with his partner Sebby. This was the first Pelican Town election in over twenty years in which Lewis had an opponent.

After the election, former Mayor Lewis and his supporters accused White of voter fraud, using the slogan "Stop the Steal". He called in famed prosecutor Manfred von Karma to prosecute White for voter fraud, and White called on defense attorney Phoenix Wright, who proved he was a lawyer by showing his badge.
