15 Your delegation of the subject area has an effect on all issues, where no divergent issue delegation has been set by you. When you do not set a delegation in the subject area, your delegation for the organizational unit may be in effect. If you're interested in an issue yourself, then potentially existent delegations will be postponed until voting. Voting on an issue cancels an existent delegation.
