I would strongly suggest, especially during a pandemic, to have a longer writ period. In B.C., we had a very short one. I know it was very difficult for people to get the names of the people running for positions ahead of time and to make decisions about voting and to send in the mail-in ballots in a timely manner. However, they did alleviate that to some extent by extending the number of days we were able to vote, which was good.
Having a longer writ period, if the issues of accessibility were addressed, would definitely help.
