This are variants of "selections" not "elections".
Repeat - what "elections"?

I have no this materials. But now I see - you agree with Michael Vlist...

So - if he not want - elections abandom (absent) and he is "constantly
ZC"? And RCC have no voices - for starting of elections need
"start" only from ZC...
