Another piddly poll question

#1 Post by swo17 » Mon Dec 19, 2022 6:02 pm

It feels kind of arbitrary to be setting deadlines in the middle of months. With the '60s wrapping up at the end of January I'm thinking it would be a good time to move over to clean month-end deadlines. But when does a month really end, really?

Presumably the pros of each are--

Last Sunday: can probably cram in more last-minute viewings, easier to remember
Last day: also easier to remember, every voting period will be 28-31 days long instead of either 28 or 35, Sundays are for the Lord

I will abide by the results of this poll.

I'm far more likely to remember last Sunday of a month than the last day of the month.

I've updated my list of pros and cons accordingly

A thought for those that prefer the last Sunday option: You can still submit a ballot that day and it will not be late for a deadline at the end of the month. (I'm no expert on how time works, but I believe the last Sunday of a month only falls after the last day of the month in very rare instances)
