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.

Eligible Candidates

1. I don't want Bob as a crat, but he's probably closest to what would be my ideal candidate. No personal issues with Cheese but I wouldn't support him under normal circumstances, so I won't do so just because he lucks out on passing a bid straight before a BP election (see Feb/August elections also). --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:14, 11 September 2009 (BST)
2. As DDR. And for some weird reason, I feel Bob will be the sense of sanity for a while.--SirArgo ^Talk 00:52, 11 September 2009 (BST)

   Aw, thanks you guys. You're probably wasting your votes though - Cheese is practically a shoe-in for this one. Cyberbob  Talk  01:55, 11 September 2009 (BST)

3. Should be entertaining. Er, wait. I don't think that way. Would be a very logical and smart decision, is what I mean. Ehem. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 01:16, 11 September 2009 (BST) I'm Cyberbob!
4. YES!-- #99 ^DCC 02:46, 11 September 2009 (BST)
