A (theoretical) reduction in the influence of party politics on the candidate once elected.2. Increased time for opposition to prepare for elections, possibly allowing better fundraising for parties other than The Big Two.3. The possible use of some of the extended time to allow for an extended actual election, which would provide more time for error-checking and possibly the implementation of more accurate, but also more complex and time-consuming, systems of election.</blockquote>
