Change the Poll Committee Chairperson election month from June to February
As the current Chairperson of the Poll Committee, I have noticed that the election date is rather awkwardly placed in the middle of the year rather than at the beginning or ends like other major role transitions, which leads to issues with regards to the Awards Analysis project. The Awards Analysis is something that can only benefit from the Poll Committee being present during Awards season, as well as something that stands to benefit from the Poll Committee having much more experience under their belt when tackling, as currently this project is only ever thrust upon brand new committees with no presence during Awards season for additional context for what they're writing about. This generally leads to a less interesting and engaging article than what the Poll Committee's major project should be. I propose to change the month of the Poll Committee Chairperson's election to February from June as it is now, to facilitate a smoother onboarding process and a better Awards Analysis. This will extend my current term as Chairperson for several months, but I will have a committee re-application process around the old election date for my remaining months as my current committee only signed on for one year, and therefore won't be required to work another half a year in the committee if they don't want to.

For more context, read my article in Issue 189 of The 'Shroom.

 * 5) Per proposal; as current Awards subdirector I feel like the PC leadership changing mid-Awards has always discouraged greater cooperation between Awards and PC, and ensuring the PC remains stable during Awards season will help a lot.
 * 6) Sounds like the efficient decision to not make users feel overworked. Though, I think this means even more that applying even past the first application date range should be allowed, so users who wouldn’t want to apply in March at all but would have wanted to apply in July, be it for less of a workload starting then, wanting to ameliorate their reputation for better chances, or just feeling like they wouldn’t be interested until then, have a chance at not feeling dinged by eight extra months.
