As this special will no longer occur, do you wish to declare for the special to replace Chalice?

Per Article I Section 6 of the Lincoln Constitution, I'm under the impression that my appointment to a seat will expire in April, since it occurred less than 336 hours before the last election. 

Just now looking at the language again...I suppose that depends on what is meant by "general election".  Would the just completed election count for that purpose?

6. Whenever a vacancy should occur in the composition of the General Court, the governor shall appoint a replacement. Should the vacancy have occurred fewer than 336 hours before the next general election, the deputy thus nominated shall serve the remainder of the existing term; otherwise, they shall serve only until a new deputy may be elected.

No, 336 hours (2 weeks) refers to the relation in time between the appointment and the next regular elections in April. Since the appointment occurred well before that mark, it lasts only until the election to directly replace the deputy you filled the slot of (Chalice). That election is this coming weekend, and the winner of that will take the seat, rendering the appointment null and void at that point.
