You can become a candidate during the vote. The relevant bits of R2154 are:

  When an election is initiated, it enters the nomination period,
  which lasts for 4 days. After an election is initiated and until
  nominations close, any player CAN become a candidate by
  announcement.

[snip]

  An election whose nomination period is complete is contested if it
  has two or more candidates, and uncontested otherwise. Nominations
  close at the end of the poll's voting period or when the election
  is ended, whichever comes first.

It's a little confusing because nominations don't close at the end of
the nomination period. All the end of the nomination period signifies is
that the voting begins, and if there's only one option, that option
automatically wins. As long as there's more than one option, we go to a
vote and anyone can jump in during the vote. Not sure how we settled on
that procedure.

I'm trying to parse the Election Procedure, I think if the decision is up
for voting that means the nomination period is ended, which means no new
nominations? Or not, because it states more players can become candidates
before the decision resolves.

As someone who has been playing since before @ was super widespread, I
like @'s conciseness. Both seem fine tho.

Mercury, you should become a candidate in the Prime Ministor election!
Also I guess if juan or Goren are paying attention still, they should
consider also. Why do only winners get to be the Prime Ministor??

Personally i think either is fine, both seem accepted.

@ is faster though, and more compact, so I prefer it.

Agora likes it's ability to be inconsistent, though, so I doubt we'll get
uniformity (it's part of the fun to do things weirdly and differently).

But might as well try :D
