Politician Archive

I'll start by appologizing if this is posted elsewhere, I tried to look and found nothing of use.

Will the 1st Election in the bag and the second coming up, I was amazed to find out that the loosing politicians in a mayor race did not receive XP for the votes they received. My 1st question is if this is intended or are bug that will be fixed?

The reason this bothers me is that currently, votes are the only way to get XP. There will be no solid reasoning to vote a Politician out of office if he's the only on with XP and the others have none...

Any thoughts, or news on this that I might have missed?
