To be honest, I’m not sure I see the point. In my experience interim incumbents
nearly always win elections, and most modern Agoran offices have very little
power anyway. All I really see this doing is punishing those who take up work
that’s not being done.
In my experience some people, and by some people I mean almost always G., end
up inheriting a bunch of roles out of a sense of duty because no one steps up
in the grey zone that happens when an officer 'ghosts'. I theorize that
elections make people that don't currently have a role more inclined to take
one up. I'd be inclined to explore other ways to just make people more likely
to initiate elections if you feel like this one is likely to have adverse
effects.
We've gotten lazy about converting interim offices to elected ones. I think
here in election initiation:
b) By announcement, if e is the ADoP and if the office is interim,
we used to have a SHALL or a SHOULD to imply that the ADoP really should be
starting elections whenever an office is interim.
