			Citizens may change order at any time, but a magician who changes order cannot vote in the election for a new grandmaster, if they were a member of another order when that order voted for a grandmaster in the last year.

Attempting to influence the election of a grandmaster without due authority is electoral fraud and can carry harsh penalties.

The challenge continues until the end of the summit (in which case it has failed) or until a majority of the order present at the summit cast a vote of no confidence in their grandmaster (in which case the title immediately becomes vacant). The threshold for a successful challenge is set by the precedence determined before the summit. A grandmaster can only be challenged once during each summit. A magician may withdraw their vote at any time by informing a Prefect, however the challenge is successful and the grandmaster is immediately removed from their position as soon as the threshold is reached.
