I agree with you on both points. |
| 32 |
However, the council still needs to "approve" it as it is a "change of |
| 33 |
policy" and so that no one has any doubts / objections later. |
| 34 |
I still insist that the election officials should be selected as soon as |
| 35 |
the nomination period starts to avoid any delays on the voting - we |
| 36 |
should never again enter an election without having election officials. |
