I suppose they've all got bored from being in lockdown and wanted something to do, so they finalised the minutes. Still, it means that everyone else in lockdown has plenty to read.

Even over here, it's happened. THe election for the Mayor of London and Greater London Assembly has been postponed from May 2020 to May 2021. But of course over 90% of votes would have been in polling stations.
