Rules

Rules for starting an election.

   • A Bureaucrat that hasn't made a single edit in one month is considered to be inactive and forfeits their 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.

   • 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.

Election Space

The next election will be on April 31st. Since that day doesn't exist, I'm assuming that means it'll be on the 1st of May.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 15:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

April 31st is nearly upon us but I will be at a Jane's Addiction concert when the server ticks. I don't intend to run this time around so don't vote for me. I'll properly withdraw later. ~ _{21:29, 30 April 2011 (UTC)}

Everybody vote for Vapor! I'll block him for a fortnight so that he can't pull out! :D --Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 21:41, 30 April 2011 (BST)

Tbh, it should actually be at 23:41 tomorrow, but I don';t think anybody will mind.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 22:23, 30 April 2011 (BST)
