It describes no way for it to be overturned since it needs support from both chambers of Congress as well as the Court, and if that is the case, then the person shall not continue serving in that office. They would not be eligible to hold the position of EC ever again. To "participate" means that they can not control any part of the election process that they are a candidate in. It would be an issue if the Deputy EC would be running in the election, but I suppose that the Deputy EC could be dismissed and a new one can be hired to run the election.

Not sure what your seeing relating to difference between PM/Presidential and Congressional elections. "no later" because that is how it is in its current form in L.R. 022 I believe (I may be wrong tho). 3 days for what? If this is for election period, it has always been around 3 days for genelecs and midterms. With the "If possible" question, I suppose you may be referring to the referendum within elections (may be wrong idk). This would ensure that the EC can include regional referendums with elections, which is very common, if they wish to. This would possibly reduce the amount of regional votes we need, by combining elections with regional referendum when they do happen. This also applies to special elections as well.

Abstain is both defined by L.R. 024 and L.R. 037 as being counted towards the total amount of votes cast. You can find relevant info on "Abstain" vote in said laws.

Additionally, the Constitution defines 50%+1 as being a simple majority vote.

First, thank you for your response, and thank you for doing it so quickly. The parts in bold are the parts that I'm personally happy with, and won't be proposing any sort of amendments on those things. I'll address the parts not in bold, in the order that they were written.

So, first. Wouldn't it be better if we had one of the AECs take charge instead, in order of seniority?

Second, I was referring to the 21/28 day difference. Is there a reason for that being in the bill?

Third, yes, I was. I do agree with the last point in that paragraph (in bold). Do you believe that giving the EC direct power to schedule it "if possible" on the same ballot as a general/midterm election is a better alternative than legislating a certain amount of time before an election where, if a constitutional amendment is passed, it would automatically ensure the EC puts it on that ballot by law? Or do you believe that Article II, Section VII, Subsection III, already is that in effect?

That's all I have to say for now, thank you for your answers and the quick response once again.
