Dear Gentoo community, |
5 |
|
6 |
the council election will open later tonight at 2016-06-19 00:00 UTC. |
7 |
The election booth will remain open until 2014-07-03 00:00 UTC. |
8 |
The election page for this election[1], contains all the information |
9 |
about the election. |

Please let us know if you find any issues with the page or with the |
14 |
election. In particular, make sure you're listed as a voter[2] or you |
15 |
won't be able to vote in the election. |

The rules for the Council election as well as details on how to vote for |
21 |
this election are available in the Council Elections Archives[3]. In any |
22 |
case, here is the quick procedure on how to vote using votify: |
23 |
|
24 |
* If you're eligible to vote in this election, log in to |
25 |
dev.gentoo.org |
26 |
* Type votify --new council-201606 to create a new ballot file |
27 |
* Edit .ballot-council-201606 file in your home directory and rank |
28 |
the candidates |
29 |
* Once you're finished, use votify --verify council-201606 command |
30 |
to verify the validity of your ballot file |
31 |
* If everything is okay, use votify --submit council-201606 to |
32 |
submit your vote. Don't forget your vote doesn't count until you |
33 |
submit it. |
34 |
* If you run into problems, you can either work them out yourself |
35 |
using votify --help or contact election officials and ask them for help |
36 |
|
37 |
The elections for the Council include the pseudo _reopen_nominations |
38 |
candidate. If the pseudo-candidate '_reopen_nominations' appears in |
39 |
7th place or higher those candidates that rank above |
40 |
'_reopen_nominations' will be the current council. A second period of |
41 |
election will be opened for the remaining council seats. No third |
42 |
period of election will be opened in the event '_repoen_nominations' |
43 |
ranks higher than the candidates necessary to fill the council[4]. |
44 |
|
45 |
In case there's a need to fill a seat during the council term due to a |
46 |
retirement, if no candidate ranked above the _reopen_nominations_ |
47 |
candidate, a new election must be held to fill that seat. If |
48 |
there were candidates ranked above the _reopen_nominations_ candidate, |
49 |
it's up to the remaining council members to accept the next candidate in |
50 |
order of voting or open an election to fill the open seat. |
