Yes, I think so. This is an issue that the steping down chair needs to pass
the state of an on going process to the new chair without disruption to the
smooth moving of the process and the functionality of the organisation.

We might like to simplify the situation to say that a vote is always
finishes in one day and no chair changing happens on that day. Complex
situation can be avoid by setting the date of vote on an aprropriate day by
the chair. Having said that, if we have the mechanism to specify how state
of a process is passed from one chair to the next, the same mechanism should
be able to be applied to the situation that changing chair happens during a
vote.
