If there's a need to give people notices, this could also be a good time
to prompt some of the people who took an interest during the last
election in identifying eligible voters and delivering messages to them.
That might even be more effective than using the site notice. And with
the data-crunching and mass-notifications started earlier, hopefully
that work wouldn't draw some of the objections from last time. (By
saying this I'm not trying to favor b) over a); my comment applies even
if a notice isn't required for this particular issue.)
