Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| It seems that we are often agreeing to early elections for one reason or another. Perhaps we can learn from this and simply decrease our election cycle. Our populace is more likely to be civically engaged if they can plan for elections instead of being subject to the whims of the Majlis. |

| Date | 16:27:45, November 27, 2007 CET | From | Radical Green Party | To | Debating the Permanent early elections |
| Message | 28 is as good as 25 in our book. Any reason to prefer that number? |

| Message | 25 months x 4 hours = 120 hours = 5 days....nasty...what about 7 days? The we can arrange elections to happen at Saturday or Sunday only. |

| Message | Why the hell did I come out with 120 hours? Mispelled, 100 hours is like 4 something days...very unstable. |

| Message | Well, this one was already on the table for a bit, so I'll put it back out there and see what folks think. If there's a general consensus that we should be somewhere in between this number and the current one, we can try something different. |

| Message | If we're going to go that low, why not 24? 24*4= 96 hours = 4 days. At 25 months, it's like every 4.1666 days or something. |
