Use reference-style links for:

  • ordinary decision
  • extraordinary decision
  • special election

everywhere those terms occur.

See each commit for further details --- sometimes I am merely switching the sort of markdown link used, and sometimes I am adding a new link where there there was none before.

This makes the markdown shorter (since each link occurs multiple times),
and it also helps promote the use of consistent terminology.
There was no link there before.
This term occurred multiple times but was never linked to its definition
in any one of them.

Continue using reference-style links for terminology as is already done
so.

A simple majority within the SC may call a reelection of the entire SC based on perceived loss of confidence.
In this case, it also has to be decided whether this election is considered a special election for the remainders of all the corresponding terms, or an initial election for full 2-year terms for half of the seats rounded up and 1-year half-terms for the remaining seats.

In case anyone notices, "initial election" is, before and after this PR, both unlinked and furthermore undefined. I am purposely leaving that as-is in this PR, but will fix that in the next PR.
