NE1: Uniform December Election Day Amendment (Passed)

[Poirot]

A citizen wants to confirm that by moving the December election earlier by one week, representatives will swear in one week earlier and will serve one more week than normal (and those elected in October one less week).

[Poirot]

The sponsor of the bill talked about the inconvenient start time for the assembly so he probably wants to move it also one week early.

The purpose of this bill is to sync the federal and regional election days in the month of December.  Late-month, non-synched December elections lead to less participation and an inconvenient start time for the Assembly, usually the week around the holidays.

The citizen just wanted to make sure for clarification when the new session would begin.
