Or will it be entirely based on an election year ? or an election cycle ?

Don't get me wrong I think the grey vote is over powered and pandered too far too greatly, but removing thier vote after they have worked thier whole lives because they're not currently working seems grossly unfair....
I'm assuming for the purposes of this thread that the voting rights would be determined on a per-cycle basis. I don't really think the whole plan is a good idea, the value of services received from the government is not a measurable value. And the total taxes paid at all levels of government aren't easily measured either.
