Minor changes.

1. I just realized that the schedule does not include a pre-poll day. So, October 3 is when platforms and budgets are due (in addition to being primary results day). October 4 is pre-poll day, October 5 is Day 1.
2. The President has until the beginning of Day 1 to sign or veto legislation. Anything unsigned after that is considered pocket vetoed.

As several of you have noticed, I used the information from the predictions thread to make the list and several of y'all have already found mistakes. Those that were pointed out to me should be corrected now.

If you find any more, please PM me. Thanks!

A reminder that there is a primary for NW Governor today and failure to post will lead to default (Nolan has not passed the 14-day inactivity threshold yet for removal from office, and I will not declare that a candidate is inactive and their FEC file invalid without at least that). In the event that there is a double default, the other party's candidate shall win the election.

Given that one candidate is extremely unlikely to post, a budget, and Chenned platform and events would likely be sufficient to ensure victory.

Please note that House election platforms are due in their respective threads by 2359 today. I'm working on getting starting funds determined. Make sure your Day 1 includes a budget.

Thank you.

Yesterday was busier than expected. All of my races are delayed 24 hours from where they should be. I'll be getting everything caught up tonight. Very sorry.

A reminder: budget updates must have accurate final cash-on-hand totals.
