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. |

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

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. |
