Why would it take place in JUNE?! I believe we agreed that it would be best for the election to occur in MAY so that we'd have the term be 1 June to 1 June every year, in honour of Independence Day.

I know, but the idea is to have an election every 3 months, on months that are multiples of 3 ( 3,6,9,12 ) or March, June, September, December. Doing that enables to have elections equally balanced around the year, and easy to remember. 3,6,9,12

With your proposal, we would have 3,5,9,12, which would mean only 2 months from the previous house election, and a full 4 months until the next one. I think this is less desirable. We should space them as equally as possible to create a rhytmic pattern.

We could of course, use 2,5,8,11 ( February, May, August, November ), but I think it is less interesting, notably because of the elections in August, where a lot of people are in vacation, and in February, the shortest month of the year. And with Thanksgiving, November ain't that great either.

With elections every 3 months, like we have now, we also are in election at the time of a season change ! It easy to remember : if we change season this month, there is an election. September is also the beginning of the school year, which is synonimous with a new beginning. Same thing with December, and the new year ( the term of Senators would be from January 1st to December 31st ! ).

The only negative point of the schedule is the Presidential election, which occurs during Independance month, but with the new president taking office the next month. Personally tough, I would fix the term to change on June 15th, with the election between June 1st and June 14th, and not on July 1st.

Did you notice I tried to group my sentences into paragraphs ? I think I had 5 ideas, so I splitted into 5 paragraphs.
