Bids for the 2018 Summer Olympics

Bids for the 2018 Summer Olympics is a bidding process, aiming to host the 2018 Mapperdonian Olympic Games. The process is divided in two parts: shortlisting and public election. The host city will be revealed on April 15th, 2018.

The Olympic bidding process begins with the submission of a city's application to the Mapperdonian Olympic Committee (MOC). Once the city is accepted as candidate city, it will wait the shortlisting. Four candidate cities will make through the shortlisting and will face on public election. The candidate with most votes wins.
