Anyway. My take on r1229 is that, while it says the seat comes up for election, it never says the incumbent actually loses the seat. Giving it to the player who gets nominated and receives the most votes implies taking it away from the incumbent, but aside from that there's nothing that suggests the seat is taken away. So if there is no election, I'd say the seat isn't given away, and I sit tight until the next time around.
