   • 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.

The next bureaucrat election will start on 1 April 2010, at 0:11 or something for DDR's position. I'm probably wrong, so someone should correct me. --ZsL 00:43, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Meh. I was promoted halfway through September so for the last 3 months I've considered it that. I didn't take into account the time it took to do Box's bid. --
