About 1 month and 2 weeks looks to have been allowed.  I would say you
have a 
point of conflict only if the seneschall that recieved the ballots was
not the
one who was officially seneschall at the time of your populace durring
that 
time span.

Well 2 of the groups that didn't return votes haven't been especially
vocal about
being for or against anything, and I think 2 groups are still incipient
so its not
particularly suprising they didn't return anything.  The only group that
has
been vocal and didn't return results was Bjorsburg.

The first time through was somewhat haphazardish in the way it was done
and 
it was given alot of flak over that.  So Sosha said how it was gonna be
most
everyone accepted it.  The only complaints about it were over the wether
to name
the region or not question.  It was decided that the best way to do it
was 
through the seneschallate becuase that is kinda the role they play and
that 
was where the resposibilty was to lie so people couldn't complain about
the 
overall vote.  

Another note,  last time around it was complained that Bjorsburg didn't
get
much a chance to vote becuase of the baronial voting.
