Consideration should be given as to what should be the appropriate length of the interval between the declaration of the election result and the holding of the subsequent inauguration. Insufficient time for receipt and investigation of complaints can result in the complaints process being compromised, which in turn could undermine public confidence in the election. Therefore sufficient time should be allowed in order for complaints to be received and addressed and electoral decisions to be implemented.
