Feducci has just been announced as a candidate on Twitter:

Nice new art, too.
(Too bad. I was really hoping for the bandaged candidate to be either Lettice of Grace)

Huh, I won't be playing this year, but I'm thrilled to see Feducci as an option - it'll be very interesting to see what we learn about his character, as well as discussions about whether he'll be good or not

Oh, sounds cool! And ties in nicely with previous Season of Exceptional Stories! I have to say I did not expect him to have such a daring rhetorics. Although, who knows what will happen once Elections start

Last year, the Favor mechanic was pretty well-integrated into the Election, even though not all factions had been converted. There were opportunity cards that used Favors for election resources, and of course the Mayor's card granted Favors after the election. Factions that had not been converted did not have much participation.
My pet conspiracy theory is this upcoming election is the reason why the Great Game was converted to favors quickly and with short notice.

How much will I be missing out on if I only participate in the second week?

Last year I don't remember anything special about the second week, other than it being revealed which candidate was in the lead. So all you'd miss out on is time to level up your election career to support your chosen candidate. But things could change this year, so who knows?

Last year, during the second week of the Election there was different text to be found when investigating (and using Flash Lays) each of the candidate's campaigns.
For example (off the top of my head), in the 2nd week we've discovered that:
- Jenny collects blackmail data on people
- The Bishop plans to expose/out the soulless people.
- The Contrarian had some falling out with some key Revolutionary leaders.
No idea how the mechanics might be different this year.

In theory, you'll lose out on a chance to grind up your Election Profession.
Even if the second-week-reveals force you to switch candidates, you'll still be able to retain half of the profession levels you've acquired, and all of the Notability.
You'll also miss out on the early stages of the debates, which are both a blessing and a curse.
Otherwise, you shouldn't be losing out on much, unless they change the mechanics for this year.

I'm curious if there's such thing as a "bad" candidate in these elections.
Certainly people can disagree with their policies, but I don't think any mayor will do anything that can be totally regarded as bad for London (i.e. if Feducci, being an agent for the presbyteriate, gets Port Carnelian removed).
I just don't see a seasonal event having much effect on the game in general. For example, the Bishop last year campaigned for a new fight against hell (I think, if I remember right) but even if he had been elected, I don't think it would have happened. It's just too much of a change, forced on people who may or may not have wanted it.
I don't know whether I like it that way or not. Sometimes it's nice to have consequences and have clear-cut negative repercussions for choosing a bad leader, but lord knows there's plenty of that going on in the real world these days. It's nice to have FL, where I know nothing to serious will get ruined even if the candidate I want loses.
I guess what I'm saying is keep it cordial, because I do recall a bit of... heated discussion... going on after Jenny won last year. It doesn't matter a whole lot anyway.

I'm trying to remember from last year, was it possible to gain election resources or do election activities without selecting a candidate? I'm not sure if I can make a decision between the Dauntless and the Implacable with doing a bit of snooping around their campaigns.

also id like to ask is the election resource intensive to engage in? I've also heard about notability being involved do you need a lot of said thing to engage in the election?.

This is all we (or, at least, I) know about past elections. Some election resource gathering methods were open even if you didn't choose a candidate. Notability was 1 "vote" per point. So you can be as Notability intensive as you want. For maximum contribution you'd need 15 Notability but even with 0 Notability you can still cast "votes" by using your election career progress.

I very much doubt it would happen, but I would be both amused and annoyed if, should the DTC be elected, the amount of wine and honey paid out by assorted cards and actions plummeted to reflect the suppression of these commodities.

That sounds like a lot of work and it would totally screw with the balance of the game, so I think we can safely determine that that won't be happening :P
What is probably going to happen is that none of the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner cards or storylines are going to give you wine as a reward unless you actively undermine her efforts (remember you had three occasions to undermine Sinning Jenny). She might also lower your hedonism a little, but quirks weren't effected the last time, so... *shrugs*

On the other side it would be pretty easy and a helluva lot of fun a "can't discard" card which can be extracted if you have a certain amount of wine and/or honey. Damn, i would love such a thing.
Or commerce of wine and honey could be forbidden in the Bazaar - again, this one would probably not be so difficult to implement.

Again, that would screw with the balance of the game... Plus story wise the Masters have way too much power for the municipal government to dictate what the Bazaar sells.
