   • A Bureaucrat that hasn't made a single edit in one month is considered to be inactive and forfeits their status as bureaucrat.
2. After 3 months with no elections on a bureaucrat position, an election is called for the bureaucrat position longest without an election.
3. If, for any reason, an individual Bureaucrat position hasn't faced an election after 12 months, then an election is called after that period.
4. The election ends after two weeks wiki time counting from the when the election is started.
