There's this provision in the same rule:
"An election is contested if it has two or more candidates at the end
of the nomination period, and uncontested otherwise. For a contested
election, nominations close at the end of the poll's voting period.
For an uncontested election, nominations close at the end of the
nomination period."
I was thinking that the Agoran public might be more inclined to vote
for someone who was currently working to resolve the crisis, rather
than someone who had just resigned all eir offices (to give em credit,
G. had taken on half those offices in an attempt to help out). G. is
overall still a pretty good candidate, especially given eir hard work
to improve the situation. It's not a huge deal if I don't win though.
What actually happened was that I was writing up my action plan and
then I thought I could turn it into a good campaign. I've won PM on a
"I'm working to solve the ongoing crisis" platform before, and I
figured I could try again.
