What is the time limit for Officer Candidates to respond to questions during the election?

The time limit for Officer Candidates to respond to questions during the election is set at 30 seconds. This duration is intentionally structured to allow candidates enough time to articulate their thoughts and express their qualifications effectively while also maintaining a brisk pace during the election process. Limiting responses to 30 seconds encourages candidates to be concise and straightforward, highlighting key points without unnecessary elaboration that could lead to prolonged responses. This time management aspect is crucial in keeping the election efficient and engaging for both candidates and voters.
