The Gathering was designed to ensure an untainted vote for the new ruler. To avoid outside influence, those with a vote gathered in one place and were sealed off until a majority vote was reached.
Normally this would take a few hours, a day at most. The Gathering of 1587 was still talked about for lasting a week and a day.
It's been two months. Supplies are sent in via a one way tube, they announce the findings via a flag up the pole.
But given how well everything is running I think the next food parcel might be... Tainted.
