I think that the proposed change would not work like that. Same number of elections per month, just staggered.
Ruler, General, Judge and Banker set to monthly elections right now:
Week 1: No Elections
Week 2: No Elections
Week 3: No Elections
Week 4: Ruler, General, Judge and Banker Elections Occur
Ruler, General, Judge and Banker set to monthly elections per my understanding of the proposed change:
Week 1: Ruler Election Occurs
Week 2: General Election Occurs
Week 3: Judge Election Occurs
Week 4: Banker Election Occurs
In either case four elections occur each month.
Okay, right, eww. But I kind of like the idea of staggered quarterly elections.
