What would be the rationale for having different rules in the second |
| 17 |
election? |

For reference, the procedure for Council elections is this [1]: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If the pseudo-candidate '_reopen_nominations' appears in 7th place |
| 22 |
or higher those candidates that rank above '_reopen_nominations' |
| 23 |
will be the current council. A second period of nominations will |
| 24 |
be opened for the remaining council seats. No third period of |
| 25 |
nominations will be opened in the event '_repoen_nominations' |
| 26 |
ranks higher than the candidates necessary to fill the council. |
