Yeah, but I've been playing for years and constantly forget that there even IS a paperwork section. Nor does that resolve all the scenario's that Eirikr listed. Currently we limit the pool of who can be promoted, and while its not hard to get your chosen appointee onto that list, I see no reason why the whole thing couldn't be streamlined a bit more.
It's not a section one needs to visit all that often, if at all, since elections were changed to referendums.
