Kath arrived, though her height meant that many people didn't notice for a time. She was in a rush anyway, huffing and puffing as she came through the door.
"I'm sorry!" She squeaked out, scrambling onto a stool by the bar. "I'm late, I know, and I'm going right out again in a moment. I've been called to taste some food across the valley so this is the last chance I have to get in here. And that means I have to vote early! So:

Because she was the last person to speak and so the only one I've heard. It's random, I'm sorry, I have to go!"
She slid back off the stool and pushed through people's legs until she got back to the door. With a quick wave, she left.
