Dear Gentoo community, |
5 |
|
6 |
with my personal apologies for the delay, the council election is now |
7 |
open. The election booth will remain open until 2014-07-15 00:00 UTC. |
8 |
Due to some issues with the current council election page, I went ahead |
9 |
and reused the existing Trustees page model to create a new page[1]. |
10 |

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/elections/council/2014/council-201406.xml |

Please let us know if you find any issues with the page or with the |
15 |
election. |
16 |

The rules for the Council election as well as details on how to vote for |
18 |
this election are available in the Council Elections Archives[2]. In any |
19 |
case, here is the quick procedure on how to vote using votify: |
20 |
|
21 |
* If you're eligible to vote in this election, log in to |
22 |
dev.gentoo.org |
23 |
* Type votify --new council-201406 to create a new ballot file |
24 |
* Edit .ballot-council-201406 file in your home directory and rank |
25 |
the candidates |
26 |
* Once you're finished, use votify --verify council-201406 command |
27 |
to verify the validity of your ballot file |
28 |
* If everything is okay, use votify --submit council-201406 to |
29 |
submit your vote. Don't forget your vote doesn't count until you |
30 |
submit it. |
31 |
* If you run into problems, you can either work them out yourself |
32 |
using votify --help or contact election officials and ask them for help |
33 |
|
34 |
The elections for the Council include the pseudo _reopen_nominations |
35 |
candidate. If the pseudo-candidate '_reopen_nominations' appears in |
36 |
7th place or higher those candidates that rank above |
37 |
'_reopen_nominations' will be the current council. A second period of |
38 |
election will be opened for the remaining council seats. No third |
39 |
period of election will be opened in the event '_repoen_nominations' |
40 |
ranks higher than the candidates necessary to fill the council[3]. |
41 |
|
42 |
In case there's a need to fill a seat during the council term due to a |
43 |
retirement, if no candidate ranked above the _reopen_nominations_ |
44 |
candidate, a new election must be held to fill that seat. If |
45 |
there were candidates ranked above the _reopen_nominations_ candidate, |
46 |
it's up to the remaining council members to accept the next candidate in |
47 |
order of voting or open an election to fill the open seat. |

Due to time availability issues, I had to delay this by 2 days. |
