The current election code will be amended from this:
Democratic Union Charter:
Elections

Elections will be held every four months. During elections the Deputy Chairman will replace the Chairman, and members can vote for a new Deputy Chairman.

In the event that the current Deputy Chairman is unable to become Chairman, the Deputy Chairman will have to act as a sitting Chairman while a two-week election period is held. This period will be divided as such;
Days 1-4: Chairman/Deputy Chairman candidates will be campaigning their position by addressing issues and ideas that will be best for the D.U. to be guided from
Days 5-7: Chairman/Deputy Chairman candidates will engage in a debate which will be used to argue the other candidates position
Days 8-11: Members (including candidates) will use this time period to vote for their preferred Chairman/Deputy Chairman
Day 11: Votes are counted
Day 12: The new Chairman and Deputy Chairman is announced
Day 13-14: The new Chairman will use this time period to prepare a short speech
Once the election period is done, the new Chairman and Deputy Chairman will assume office.

This will shorten the necessary time for elections and make the whole process easier for everyone involved.
 
We support this change. This will ease the election process significantly and limit the work and effort of candidates and the chairman.
 
The new amendment seems very useful and a much needed repair to a system that otherwise would take two weeks.
 
The Chair seconds Scandigrad's motion. The vote will start soon and will last for three days.
