 How about Agoran Consent?

 If people have to bother to object, why not just have the election?

My thinking too.

 proto: add economic element.  maybe pay or get N support to get a
 candidate on the ballot, too.

Will add this as a card type to the Notes-cards proto.

 It's easy to see an endless parade of elections for popular-to-hold offices.
 I submit the following proposal, Terms, AI-2:

 -
 [If you want to replace someone in office before 90 days are up, you
 need more support to try - you can still do it if you have a lot of
 support, e.g. to impeach a truly bad officer].

 Amend R2154 (Election Procedure) by replacing:

      Any player CAN, with Support, initiate an election for a
      specified elected office for which no election is already in
      progress.

 with:

      Any player CAN, by announcement, initiate an election for a
      specified elected office for which no election has been
      initiated in the preceding 90 days.  Any player CAN, with
      4 Supporters, initiate an election for a specified elected
      office for which no election is already in progress.

 -G.

Also by announcement if the office is vacant?
