Shorten national political campaigns to four months prior to election date. Reenergize the electorate by putting voters and candidates closer to the election.
Why is this important?
National political campaigns begin a year or more prior to elections, leaving most voters weary of ads and news reports, bored by debates, tuned out to the issues and aggravated by candidates. Limiting campaigning time to four months prior to the election would allow candidates to focus on current issues and still provide plenty of time for voters to cast informed votes.
