    <p>Can someone point to (or even outline) the rationale for the
      petition process?</p>
    <p>I had assumed that it was to resolve some procedural unfairness
      that would otherwise exclude candidates who for some reason beyond
      their control had been unable to accept nomination on time, but I
      note that there are several petitions and they don't all appear to
      explain the extenuating circumstances giving rise to the petition.
      Presumably I have misunderstood something.</p>
