By the way, you may want to look at the House of Commons. For a couple of years now we've been accepting e-petitions where citizens can submit their signature online.
The reason I'm asking this question is that as we expect mail-in ballots to increase—or what we call a special ballot—the earlier we have candidates firmed up, the better it is, so that we have their names printed on the ballot. If you start sending ballots way too early, where names of the candidates are not printed and the voters are expected to write in the name, that may create another form of confusion. I was hoping, because of this situation or scenario, there's a way for us to require that candidates are certified earlier so that the mail-in ballots can have the names on them.
