[edit] Esperanza Elections

[edit] Dates

Elections for the Esperanza Advisory Committee will begin at 12:00 UTC fifteen (15) days before the expiration of the terms listed below. They will continue until two weeks after that day, ending at 11:59 UTC. Any votes before or after that time will be discounted.

All candidates for the election should list themselves at the appropriate election page that shall be listed below by 12:00 UTC on the day preceding the start of the election.

[edit] Voting Method

The voting method will be as follows:

Every candidate will be listed on a page created with the title of "Wikipedia:Esperanza/month year elections", with the month and year being inserted as appropriate. Each Esperanzian will be able to vote for every candidate they support. There will be a limit of one vote per candidate (i.e., you can't vote sixty times for User:Foo), but each Esperanzian will have the ability to vote for every candidate if they so choose. The candidates with the highest number of votes will gain the open seats. The number of seats may vary due to resignations and/or removal, but shall normally be 2 Advisory Committee seats during the bimonthly elections, and one Administrator General position at the year-end election.

For clarification: Only members of Esperanza registered before the election begins will be able to vote in this election.

[edit] Ties

If there is a tie at any level, there will be a run-off between those candidates, on a one-vote-per-Esperanzian system.

[edit] Supervision

Per tradition, the Admin General will not vote in the election, but will instead supervise the election and certify the results. If any non-candidate would like to serve as a poll worker (i.e., monitor the page for voting irregularities) please leave a message on the election talk page.
