With the Constitution almost certain to be adopted, I'll be moving forward with elections shortly thereafter.

My question is how long should the campaigning process be? I was thinking of setting elections either for Jan 23-26 or the first weekend in February, but am flexible.

I'd like to hear everyone's views on this.

I think that a longer campaigning process would be better. I think the 23rd is too close. If we wait a little longer, I think we'd be able to get a bit more people here. A few nations that I tg'd have replied saying that they were currently busy, and would join in a few weeks. I'm also still in the process of convincing more people to join the off-site forum.
And maybe some daily posting for a few weeks on the region page, updating everyone on the elections, will get people curious enough to show up here and vote.

I think it'd be best to wait at least one more week (the 30th), but out of purely selfish motives, my ideal dates for the election would be feb 6-9, because I'm going to be out of town from the 29th to the 2nd. (I'm going to quebec city, woo!)

Whatever timetable suits the members is fine with me.

Yeah febuary works better.

Don't forget we'll will need some time to round up enough canidates for all the posts.
