Practice question
A qualifying double vacancy occurs outside the eighteen-month exception. Congress calls the election for the fortieth day after the call. Does that comply with Article VII, Section 10’s scheduling window?
- Yes, because any date before sixty days is valid.
- No, because the election must occur not earlier than forty-five days after the call.
- Yes, because forty days is more convenient.
- No, because the only valid date is exactly one year later.
- Yes, if all candidates agree.
