The reason not to have it in two weeks is that it

longer than that to effectively translate both the policy pages and
the candidate statements to allow as many people to participate in as
many languages as possible. Two weeks would almost guarantee a
primarily english-centric election. In the past we've had no problem
getting the votes counted/confirmed in two days; we did it last year.
I believe the suggestion is to have the vote lasting for 2 weeks, not
starting in 2 weeks from now.
Voting last for 3 weeks in past elections.
