Mike, |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
ever since we started the 2 + 2 weeks elections, no one has complained |
| 37 |
to the election officials about the shortened period. Furthermore, the |
| 38 |
officials started tracking the ballots evolution and in the last 2 years |
| 39 |
or so, the majority of votes were casted in the first days of an |
| 40 |
election, followed by a week or so with hardly any votes and a small |
| 41 |
number of votes casted just before the election was closed. |
| 42 |
As a member of the elections team and an election official for most |
| 43 |
(all?) of the elections in the past 3 years, I think that returning to |
| 44 |
the 1 + 1 month election would be a waste of time. |
