Ideally, you should ask your question(s) at the begining
of the campaigning period, or maybe immediately before,
rather than half way through.

If you're going to be providing "answers" for people
who don't respond to your satisfaction, do this as soon
as possible, rather than waiting for the voting period
to start.

I wouldn't wait longer than a week after your initial post
to pose such surrogate answers.  Or, if you've jumped the
gun and asked during the nomination period, no more than
a week after their nomination.  It's simpler and probably
better to just stick to the campaigning period for q&a
treatment of your issues.

If you do feel it necessary to add coments after (or
immediately before) the voting period has started, they
should be wrapped in heavy disclaimers.  By definition,
comments introduced in the voting period are comments made
after the campaigning period has ended.

Read the Secretary's announcements for more clues.

might also be helpful.
