38 The rules for the Council election as well as details on how to vote for
39 this election are available in the Council Elections Archives[1]. In any
40 case, here is the quick procedure on how to vote using votify:
41
42 * If you're eligible to vote in this election, log in to
43 dev.gentoo.org
44 * Type votify --new council-201206 to create a new ballot file
45 * Edit .ballot-council-201206 file in your home directory and rank
46 the candidates
47 * Once you're finished, use votify --verify council-201206 command
48 to verify the validity of your ballot file
49 * If everything is okay, use votify --submit council-201206 to
50 submit your vote. Don't forget your vote doesn't count until you
51 submit it.
52 * If you run into problems, you can either work them out yourself
53 using votify --help or contact election officials and ask them for help
54
55 The elections for the Council include the pseudo _reopen_nominations
56 candidate. If the pseudo-candidate '_reopen_nominations' appears in
57 7th place or higher those candidates that rank above
58 '_reopen_nominations' will be the current council. A second period of
59 election will be opened for the remaining council seats. No third
60 period of election will be opened in the event '_repoen_nominations'
61 ranks higher than the candidates necessary to fill the council[2]. In
62 case there's a need to fill a seat during the council term due to a
63 retirement, a new election must be held to fill that seat.
