Yes, at least for me there is a good reason:
We (Magnus and i) took over to prepare the election. But none of us is
confirmed by the community to do so. Because of this i want to avoid any
question afterwards.

How would you ensure that nobody get's two ballots into the box? For
counting the ballots we need some time anyway. So we decided to take
half a hour from the schedule and use this time for the election. We can
check the ID before and even hand out the ballots, that should not be
a problem. But i want some eyewitness for the election ;-)

Kind regards
