It's not uncommon at all to be off the wiki for three or more days. I would vote for an election lasting a week. What would be wrong with that? A look at the Chat Mod and Elections Board will show that a week is in fact the norm for elections. This past election is invalid in several ways.

The rule is you must have 100 edits to vote. (As seen in Thread:67388, Thread:63172, and every other thread on the Chat Mod and Elections Board (which is where this voting should have taken place anyhow). Otherwise you get users who A). may not have enough knowledge of the subject to be fair in their voting and B). may not be around in the future for their vote to affect them personally.
