From the Election Law. So the elections would begin 1 May, not this month.
 
it makes no sense - the general elections which the speaker is up for, is in the beginning of may....
 
And the special election will end before May 1, therefore it should happen. That's how the law's written.
 
:lol:

I mean my issue was that we're so close to the May General Elections we could just simply wait till then, no?

But either way, yes, I accept Grosse.
 
If you read the provisions that trigger a special election, this should have started a few days ago, but it did happen near the tail end of the period where a special election would be required to be held. The rule recognizing an acting Speaker and Speaker Pro Tempore are internal rules, and the law on calling a special election take precedence.
