[edit] Rules

Rules for starting an election.

1. When a Bureaucrat resigns, or loses his status due to demotion or inactivity an election is started immediately.
   • A Bureaucrat that hasn't made a single edit in one month is considered as inactive and forfeits his status as bureaucrat.
2. After 3 months with no elections on a bureaucrat position, an election is called for the bureaucrat position longest without an election.
3. If, for any reason, an individual Bureaucrat position hasn't faced an election after 12 months, then an election is called after that period.
4. The election ends after two weeks wiki time counting from the when the election is started.
5. The candidate with the most votes wins the election.
6. In the event of a tied vote the remaining bureaucrats will decide between the tied candidates.

Rules concerning candidates

1. All active users with the sysops status are automatically declared candidates for any vacant Bureaucrat positions.
   • Users with at least 12 edits in the 30 days before the election are considered "active" for purposes of the election.
2. The Bureaucrat whose position comes up for election if said election is started under rule 2 of Rules for starting an election is automatically declared a candidate.
   • Unless said otherwise, a bureaucrat who lost its powers through demotion cannot run for bureaucrat on the election that will fill its position
3. A candidate can retract his own candidacy at any time.

Rules concerning voting.

1. All users have only one vote per bureaucrat position to be filled.
2. Users vote for a candidate by signing under the preferred candidates name.
   • Users can't cast more than one vote per candidate.
3. Users may change their votes for a candidate as long as the election has not ended.

[edit] Election Space

The next election will be around about the 25th of December assuming of course that there are no demotions either by inactivity or by choice with the Box's space up for grabs. -- Cheese 14:49, 26 September 2009 (BST)

Christmas election! Fuck yeah! --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 14:42, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Not fuck yeah. A lot of users might not have the chance to vote due to the holidays.-- SA 19:16, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I'll be about. Such power. Mwah ha ha! --Mr. Borehamwood -Rosslessness ^{-Wants a new city} 19:23, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Boxy could request an earlier election, starting on the 1st say, as an act of good faith to ensure that the full community gets a chance to vote. -- . 19:45, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Or alteratively extend the voting process, so it started earlier. --Mr. Borehamwood -Rosslessness ^{-Wants a new city} 19:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Extending the voting process is contrary to the policy, calling an election voluntarily is not. -- . 19:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

You people and your "rules" --Mr. Borehamwood -Rosslessness ^{-Wants a new city} 19:54, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Good faith? The hell? What about "avoiding the christmas period by putting onesself up for election early even though he has had a short term already" makes good faith? UDWiki's activity goes up more during the late December-early January period, we just rock that much. Keep as is. Obviously. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 21:49, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Got some facts to show that? Might make an interesting article. I'm always being told that zombie activity goes down over the summer. --Mr. Borehamwood -Rosslessness ^{-Wants a new city} 21:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

They've been in my userspace for about 6 months dude. As for the zombie activity idea, which summer? English or Aussie? --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 21:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Northern Hemisphere. --Mr. Borehamwood -Rosslessness ^{-Wants a new city} 21:58, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm in the Northern Hemisphere!-- SA 22:25, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

(Pats on head) Well done. --Mr. Borehamwood -Rosslessness ^{-Wants a new city} 22:27, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
