3 Dear Gentoo community,
4
5 the council election will open in a few minutes at 2014-06-28 00:00 UTC.
6 The election booth will remain open until 2014-07-12 00:00 UTC.
7 The election page for this election[1], made possible by the excellent
8 job of Alex Legler (a3li) that created the template for the election
9 pages, now contains all the information about the election.

12
13 Please let us know if you find any issues with the page or with the
14 election.

16 The rules for the Council election as well as details on how to vote for
17 this election are available in the Council Elections Archives[2]. In any
18 case, here is the quick procedure on how to vote using votify:
19
20 * If you're eligible to vote in this election, log in to
21 dev.gentoo.org
22 * Type votify --new council-201506 to create a new ballot file
23 * Edit .ballot-council-201506 file in your home directory and rank
24 the candidates
25 * Once you're finished, use votify --verify council-201506 command
26 to verify the validity of your ballot file
27 * If everything is okay, use votify --submit council-201506 to
28 submit your vote. Don't forget your vote doesn't count until you
29 submit it.
30 * If you run into problems, you can either work them out yourself
31 using votify --help or contact election officials and ask them for help
32
33 The elections for the Council include the pseudo _reopen_nominations
34 candidate. If the pseudo-candidate '_reopen_nominations' appears in
35 7th place or higher those candidates that rank above
36 '_reopen_nominations' will be the current council. A second period of
37 election will be opened for the remaining council seats. No third
38 period of election will be opened in the event '_repoen_nominations'
39 ranks higher than the candidates necessary to fill the council[3].
40
41 In case there's a need to fill a seat during the council term due to a
42 retirement, if no candidate ranked above the _reopen_nominations_
43 candidate, a new election must be held to fill that seat. If
44 there were candidates ranked above the _reopen_nominations_ candidate,
45 it's up to the remaining council members to accept the next candidate in
46 order of voting or open an election to fill the open seat.
