This still doesn't explicitly empower Players to perform those
duties. On nweek 76, there was nobody who was going to post the ballot
and restart the clock. The Ministry of Change was already Open, and
the Minister of Arcana was under a Rock. I posted the ballot and
restarted the clock, despite having no authority to do so, and nobody
raised any objections. So I'm not sure that this Duty is entirely
needed in the first place (as I guess I set a bit of a precedent),
although having players empowered to perform the duties of ministers
who aren't doing them probably ought to be in the ruleset somewhere.

Also, the "4 or more ndays" won't work for ministries like Change,
where the primary tasks occur while the Clock is Off.
