Are there people interseted in filling in the vacancies? If not, I don't think we should take the time and effort to keep an election.
If there are people interested, they could let you or the GenSec know this, and they could get the job without the need for an election.
I don't want to keep my job at all cost (Everybody here knows that a Party Ideologist has no real power when he can't send people to the Gulag every now and then
), but I don't think this is the best moment to keep an election, keeping in mind that many people are on holiday or have plans to do so. Just my opinion though.
