Election Day

The Election of Dave is a minor quest in Fallout 3.

Dave is running for President of The Republic of Dave once more and he needs your help. He asks you to talk to the four adults of his land including Jessica, Shawna, Rosie, and Bob to get them to vote. Once you have talked to them, go back to Dave and recieve your reward.

It is possible to persuade at least two of the other citizens of the Republic to stand in the election. It is not yet known what effect (if any) this will have on the result, but may be an alternate way to complete the quest.

You can convince Rosie and Bob to run against Dave in the election. They will not win under normal circumstances however, so you will have to rig the election if you want either of them to win.

The only way to get Rosie or Bob to win is to steal the other ballots for Dave out of the box before he counts them all.

After you have told Dave all the votes are in, he will go to the ballot box. If you are quick enough open the ballot box right after Dave unlocks it, steal all the votes, but leave one vote for the candidate of your choosing. Dave will count the votes and declare whomever you left a vote for as the winner. Dave will get angry and say something about leaving then storm out of the republic. If you catch Dave as he leaves the camp he will tell you that he is going to Old Olney to liberate it from the wasteland and create a new republic.
