I surely support absentee voting reform. I have to ask why maintaining absentee voting at all is worthwhile. Adding qualifiers like this leave room for even greater confusion.

Perhaps the voting booth should be opened exactly one week after the candidacy declaration period closes and should remain open for one week. This way we leave time for the competition to settle, but also leave a large chunk of time for those who may be away for a while.

I've never really understood why we have a candidate declaration deadline at all. In real life people need to print ballots and such, but for us it's just the SoFA posting the official ballot in the thread. A candidate could declare up to a few seconds before the booth officially opens and the SoFA would be able to easily include them on the ballot.

I think it is useful to prevent last second declarations that totally reshape the election landscape. Otherwise things could get too chaotic.

Could Section 2, Clause 4 read "that vote" instead of "their vote" to ensure that a subsequent vote in the normal booth is counted?

Offered as friendly.
