The next one, 6 and 7, sort of their companion addition and certification. This provides that the certification of any recount— certification of any recounts conducted before the election certification are certified before taking the oath and electing the chair and vice chair. So in 2020, the code was amended to recount within 7 days of certification instead of certification. And so our recount in '25— '25, '26, '26, um, I've messed that up like 6 times today. Um, we did it before the election commission, um, reviewed everything, and you had 2 AMs sitting in front of you to be there was the question brought up, well, then swear everybody in.
