Description |
This referendum would extend the term of OC Presidential elections from four to six months, to be held in August and February each year. Therefore, this would affect the upcoming OC election and not the current administration's term in office. This is timed to have elections during the slower parts of the electoral year, and theoretically holding elections less frequently will raise participation in other site-building activities. In addition, it will give each administration a little more time to implement their programs for the site.
I have set this to take effect with the next Presidential term effective August 2005. Therefore the recently elected President from April 2005 is not affected by this potential change.
