You might want to be more specific here... when does voting end for the 
Council Elections? Since the vote happens "immediately" after the 
beginning of nday 3, doesn't that mean that our votes would have to hit 
the forum *exactly* at 00:00:00 UTC? Or would the vote last until a 
victor was decided, in which case a group of players could cripple the 
council by withholding eir votes indefinitely?

Neither possibility looks attractive; might I suggest holding the 
election for, say, three ndays? Or perhaps until Voting starts...

And a question: does the Councilor whose time is up continue to preside 
until the election results are in? Or is there an empty seat from the 
beginning of the nweek until a successor is established?
