If you don't participate in ritual activity, you aren't a fully initiated member. You don't have all the rights and privileges because you aren't participating in this activity - participating in initiation is a privilege. I don't care if (and I hope this would never happen) you somehow get voted into an office before your initiation - if for some reason something occurs in that time window between your election and initiation, and you don't initiate, you aren't going to hold that office.
As Yogi Berra said, it ain't over till it's over.
