how to pick a date for elections - the best of the reasons given..

The best reasons for figuring out which date to not hold elections:

UTJ - we are ready for elections at any time. But we prefer not to have elections on February 9 or the next day, because that is Tu B'shvat.

Arabs - not in January - it is height of winter, and might rain a lot. We would get a low turnout because of poor infrastructure causing flooding. Wait until March.

Litzman - Anytime but not the whole week of Tu B'Shvat because the chassidim go to rebbe's tishes, and would have a hard time getting back in time to vote.
