The Springtime election was off by several weeks, so to be fair and give Girraffalope her whole 6 months the election was planned for November this year.
HoTh passed the torch to me to run the election, but really it doesn't matter who does it, so long as it does indeed happen.
I would personally say we wait till next month to start since Madam President has only been President for 4/6 months, since July.
I am very curious to see how you would fare in the elections!. Quite well is my guess, though in case I run it, I won't say my political preference.
Whether Girraffalope does it or someone else, I think this will be a very interesting election indeed!
