Error on startup with MYSQL

[HollishKid]

Hello,

I was looking forward to using this version of ElectionsPlus but I found an error on startup: console output at this link.
This only happens when config is set to type: "MYSQL".
For reference:

System Info: Java 21 (OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 21.0.2+13-LTS) Host: Windows 10 10.0 (amd64)
This server is running Paper version git-Paper-497 (MC: 1.20.4) (Implementing API version 1.20.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT) (Git: d8d54d9 on ver/1.20.4)

Is there anything you can do about this?
Thanks in advance!
