If 50% of the answers agree, the person will be leader after a week. If not, everything remains as is, but members can bring up the vote again, once every 24 hours). Otherwise, no one is able to promote beyond their own rank.

If people want a new leader because a leader is misusing their rank, I think it should count as harassment, and S-E should, if there is cause, suspend the leader's account and immediately instigate the vote.

Leaders should, of course, be able to step down if they want to, and to promote a replacement if available. Otherwise it's voting time again.
