1772 Hesternia federal election

Federal elections were held in Hesternia on 15 November 1772. The election saw the Liberal Party led by Franklin E. Harrison retain their previous majority of seats in the chamber of representatives.

Background
Franklin E. Harrison saw a solid, but widely disappointing third term. In 1769, the Economy began to fracture, and so did the nation. The economy then collapsed in 1770, before making a surprising recovery in 1772. Still, Harrisons government was attacked by allegations of corruption and bribery, and the allegations did have strong evidence. Though, Harrison was still seen as somewhat of a popular figure in the eyes the people. He helped bring back democracy to Hesternia, and was able to bring back the economy after the panic of 1769.

Results
The Liberal party was able to retain their majority in the Chamber of Representatives.
