Appointment
The Archon is first chosen from among members of the Imperial Senate with each senator casting one vote. In the event no clear winner is determined via a voting system. In the event of a deadlock vote, the senate will have seven days for one candidate to reach a majority vote, if the decision is not settled within seven days the Primogenitor may select the Archon themselves and they will automatically serve a six year term.

After receiving a majority of the vote from fellow senate members the prospective Archon is given their senatorial commission, which is then presented to the Primogenitor for approval and formally appointment to the office.
