Is it possible for the board or whomever oversees the elections to check 
with candidates if they actually have the time required by the position 
they are running up for and if candidates are running for second time or 
more in office that their meeting attendance etc is provided with them?

It has been a bit of drag when you have voted person(s) and are relying 
on their insight and wisdom on matters only to find out again and again 
that they are unavailable or absent when an actual decision on matters 
are being taken.

It also often feels like decitions are being made by members of various 
comities without the voted party doing their homework/research on 
matters so they just show up and go with the flow.

Both of the above are signs of the individual(s) do not have the 
necessary time that is required by the position.

Are candidates made aware of how much time is required of them for the 
position they are running for?
