Perhaps we could set that a Forest Keeper's term is 6 months but can, at the Head of State's discretion, be extended by up to 2 weeks to avoid such a situation.

Would it be an issue to move election times just a bit?

Personally, I'd be in favor of an amendment that simply moved the end of the terms from Sept. & Mar. 16th to, say, Sept. & Mar. 1st (or Oct. & Apr. 1st, or whatever). There isn't much of an obstacle in the spring, since the April Fools' Day event doesn't require anything (and is usually dumb anyway, to be frank), but the fall is when things are somewhat thornier. There's N-Day around the end of September, and then Z-Day at the end of October. So if we adjusted the beginning of the Election Period so that things would be wrapped up (unless we have multiple primary rounds, runoffs, etc.--nothing is perfect), that would prevent situations where events happened in the midst of an election.
