Can you take a picture of both the lockdown being active as well as the election?
As CaptainKirby said, the election is not active. The Problem is another one.
We have a Lockdown and pending civil unrest in HIP 84696 systems caused by killing system authority and civilians in HIP 84696, which we want to conquer. The QA Team says a war there was not possible because of a conflict state elsewhere (but in general we had the influence values for a war)
Now I found an additional pending election in another system: HIP 84182 (thanks to the hint you gave to Adept Geraden, it made me fly to the systems and look for pending states)
As you said, the lockdown prevents the other pending states from activating. So far so good.
We also think that we still don't know all systems that faction expanded to. ATM we have 8 and keep on searching.
Questions are:
- If a conflict state prevented us from going to war in HIP, why did the lockdown happen? Shouldn't a war in another system prevent more wars AND lockdown?
- the war seems to be over, since we have a pending election somewhere else. Why do we still have no pending war in our system, only pending civil unrest? (our influence: 67.9%, they have 8.60%) I guess there can only be 1 pending conflict?

Edit: Our guess to question 1 is that we overdid it and sent the System right into lockdown by too much murder, preventing the intended war that was about to happen and then the election came up elsewhere, but it won't activate until the lockdown is over. A quick look over the logs would tell the QA Team now that the election blocks our war.
