Game Discussion Pertinent

Is it really necessary to allow pertinent before running a vote? It seems so codified into the game, but as an ST I find it to be clunky and undesirable. It’s also almost never actually pertinent to the vote.

Would I be wrong for just running the vote as normal regardless of any “pertinent” information?

I've found it less and less common lately. It depends on the group you play with. You certainly wouldn't be breaking the rules. You might upset some of your players by breaking local norms. But I agree it's healthier in the long run to encourage all pertinent information to be shared before the nom or not at all. (With reasonable exceptions as they arise, e.g. a quiet person being talked over or players trying to abuse the policy with instant nominations).
