[0.9.0 Staging-1542] - Law trigger request - 'On election end', 'On election start' and similar #16259

There are triggers for winning, losing, and voting in an election, but not for when an election starts and ends without your direct involvement. An "On election end" trigger would be particularly useful to create civic engagements incentives and penalties.

It's possible "Start Election" might do this, but there doesn't appear to be a way for this action to trigger a payment or tax for anyone other than the citizen who started the election. For a social engineering incentive you might wish to do this.

Regardless, there is no equivalent for when an election ends. The 'won election' and 'lost election' triggers only apply actions to the citizens who won or lost the election. Perhaps a different request, but you might want to pay all citizens who voted for the winning party in an election, for instance... This is not currently possible by any means as far I can work out.

All people will look at who wins and will change their voice at the end.

We can add something like that in future.

The main thing was an 'on election end' or 'on election start' trigger so you could give incentives for civic engagement other than just when someone votes. Like taxing them if they haven't voted by the time an election ends.

Might encourage people to pay attention to votes. Laws don't have to be good laws :D
