= 2017 Westchester County Board of Legislators elections =

The 2017 Westchester County Board of Legislators elections were held on 7 November 2017 in conjunction with the 2017 Westchester County Executive election. The elections resulted in major gains for the Democratic Party with the party flipping three previously Republican seats and control of the County Legislature from a Republican led Coalition. Benjamin Boykin became chair of the board and Catherine Parker Majority leader. Lohud attributed the major Democratic gains in heavily Democratic Westchester County as a reaction to the election of Donald Trump at the 2016 United States presidential election. The Democratic vote increased 6.71% as compared with the 2015 board of legislator elections. Democrats gained one seat they had previously left uncontested, the Peekskill based District 1 in addition to gaining Districts 2 and 10 by increasing their vote share by 8.13% and 5.48% respectively.

= Coastal Transit Commuter Rail = From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coastal Commuter Rail also referred to just as "Coastal" is a commuter rail system on Coast Island with 8 lines, over 300 trains on weekdays, an average weekday ridership of 88,000, and a total of 18,650,000 passenger trips in FY 2019. Coastal Commuter Rail is owned by the Coast Island Government and operations are controlled by Island Transit under the Coastal Transit banner. Coastal Commuter Rail services

There are 56 stations and more than 250 miles (400 km) of track on its eight commuter lines. As of 2023 Coastal is currently planning to open 6 new stations by 2030.

Trains originate at two major terminals, New Haven Union Station and Chester. The service between the two terminates is provided by the Guilford Line which is the busiest line in the system.

Operations & History
Coastal has eight commuter lines. Most trains operate in push-pull mode with minor exceptions. The cab car is usually on the north end of the train. This is to allow for the prevention of noise in New Haven and South Side stations. Train lengths can vary from two to four cars. The Coast Island Government oversees all Coastal operations as they are vital for the nation's economy.

Stations
As of July 2023, there are 56 stations. Since Coastal's opening in 1968 nine stations have closed (West Chester, Chester Heights, Auburn College, and Southampton and the Jefferson branch) 12 additional stations are have opened since the start of service including the Exeter Line and Monroe Line north of West Salem. Several new stations are planned or under construction. Stations range from one door long platforms with bus shelters like Crystal Lake to grand city terminals like New Haven or Chester. The standard station is three cars long to handle the average Coastal train length. About half of stations have high level platforms and 40 stations are accessible. Most accessible stations have full-length high platforms for accessible boarding on all cars; others only have "mini-high" platforms about 10 feet long allowing for level boarding from one door with the rest of the platform length not accessible. Coastal is currently planning to making nine stations accessible.

Fares
Coastal fares are based on zone travel. Travel within one zone is $1.50 and travel between each zone is an additional $1.00. The Coastal system is made out of 8 zones based off distance from New Haven. Stations is bold are accessible.

COVID-19 pandemic
Starting just weeks prior to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic on Coast Island service on most lines was reduced to accommodate work on both Westbrook and Havens Interlockings. On 16 March 2020, Coastal announced a plan to operate a weekend schedule seven days a in anticipation of reduced ridership during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the beginning of April, service was again cut to "essential levels" with greatly reduced service on all lines and buses replacing train service on the Exeter Line. Starting in July 2021 service would begin to be restored and returned to around pre-pandemic levels on all lines in 2023. According to Coastal's monthly report, ridership had reached 95% of pre-pandemic levels in June 2023.

Propulsion systems
All service on the Camden, Exeter, Farmington, and Newcastle Lines are powered by diesel locomotives and coaches. Services on these lines mainly use a mix of GP40-2H, P42DC, and F40PH locomotives paired with Mafersa, Shoreliner, and Budd Coaches. Guilford Line services originating west of Guilford use diesel power similar to those used on other Eastern Division lines, while most Guilford Line trains originating at, or to the east of Guilford use 25 kV 60 Hz overhead catenary with EP-5, FL9, P32AC-DM, Metroliner, and Silverliner V s.

Signaling and safety appliances
The Camden, Chester-Lewisville, Farmington, Guilford, and Newcastle Lines use cab signaling with color position light (also known as CPLs). Trains on the Exeter and Lincoln Lines use absolute block signals and lack cab signaling. Major interlockings are control by towers near Chester Gardens (also control Salem Interlocking, Chester, Auburndale, Guilford, New Haven (controls the eastern division minus the Guilford Line).

Current
Coastal uses the following rolling stock for its commuter rail operations:

Labor remained strong in New Haven, Guilford, and Northeast Counties were the parties vote share and seat count remained largely unchanged. Alexandra Chang of CBC News noted that the swing against Labor on the West Coast was likely due to white working class voters shifting to the Liberals while better off suburbanites in Guilford and Northeast Counties stayed with Labor due to Chen being see as trustworthy and strong on economic issues. The Labor Party's 33.6% vote share was the lowest winning share of any party. The Greens support at this election came mainly from younger and more diverse areas with the party holding it's seats of Worcester and University in addition to gaining the seat of Monmouth from Labor.

= 1846 Arendelle general election =

Elections for the Arendelle Legislative Council were held on 26 November 1846. These were the first elections since the closing of the gates in the lead up to the canceled 1830 elections and the coronation of Queen Anna in the October of 1846. The elections were contested by the Conservatives, Liberals, and Independent Kristoff Bjorgman. General Destin Mattias and the Conservative Party were elected largely due to the parties' close relations with the new queen. Elections were in each of Arendelle's 13 constituencies.

History & Elections
At the 1827 Arendelle general election the Liberals won a majority of seats on the Arendelle Council with Lord Petterson being elected Prime Minister. Elections in Arendelle typically take place every three years but as part of the closing of the gates, elections were canceled and the 1827 council was dismissed by King Agnarr in addition to an Absolute Monarchy being installed. King Agnarr would be killed in 1840 while at sea with Kai taking over as interim Prime Minister and a care taker government formed. Queen Elsa would be coronated in 1843 and the gates opened after which a short period of a military dictator under Prince Hans of the Southern Isles and the Duke of Weselton would take place. When Anna dies for Elsa "in an act of true love" Hans is deported and Anna revived. In 1846 Queen Elsa hears a voice calling from the North, the Queen would discover the Enchanted Forest, Northuldra peoples, and a small number of Arendelleian troops who had been trapped in the forest since April 1812. After searching for days "into the unknown" Elsa takes her place as the fifth spirt and Princess Anna breaks Runeard's Dam (named after the sister's colonialist grandfather and king of Arendelle until 1812). Queen Elsa would abdicate the throne in the fall of 1846 and Anna would take the throne after which she calls the 1846 elections to regain the support of the people of Arendelle following 16 years of political instability. The council would be reformed with each town having one MP totaling in 14 members in addition to the reigning monarch who serves as the chair and tie breaking vote. The Conservatives would campaign on a platform of minor political reforms with the popular slogan of "do the next right thing". Despite the Conservatives closer relations with the new Queen and traditional monarchy supporters, Arenedelleians closer in line with the former queen and Liberalism largely supported the Liberals with the party outright wining the North Mountains and Roaring River-South of River voting sights despite high levels of support for Kristoff Bjorgman in those regions as well.
