Any special elections or elections with deviations from these rules should first have an explicit community consensus. | ||

==Stage 2: | ==Stage 2: Voting== | ||
Regular editors who have made at least 100 edits (excluding the Guild and User namespaces) under a registered account can add one approval vote or one disapproval vote for each candidate they support by signing their name on candidate subpages. Signatures should form a list within a section named "Supporting votes"/"Opposing votes" (to be created if necessary) at the end of each candidate subpage. | |||
These are '''not''' allowed (and should be struck out or removed): | |||
* General comments (whether supporting/neutral/opposing..keep these to the talk page) | |||
* Duplicate votes | |||
* Votes from IP accounts | |||
* Votes from registered user accounts that have not made more than 100 edits before this stage. | |||
* Proxy votes (your vote submitted by a friend, etc). | |||
* Votes made before or after this stage | |||
* Votes of partial support | |||
All other votes are generally allowed. These are also explicitly allowed: | |||
* Voting for yourself (if otherwise eligible). | |||
* Users changing/withdrawing their own votes during this stage (but not after). | |||
The basic support one can give directly to a candidate is to sign a vote onto the candidate's subpage (and perhaps give a convincing positive argument on the candidate's talk subpage). To directly oppose a candidate, one can file an opposing vote and give a negative argument on the candidate's talk subpage (but ''avoid personal attacks''; consider simply giving links to evidence, if necessary). | |||
This stage should normally be set to last 7 days. | |||
* | ==Stage 3: Deciding winners== | ||
* | The winner(s) are decided through the following method: | ||
* | *The eligible supporting and opposing votes for each candidate are tallied. | ||
* | *The opposing vote totals are subtracted from the supporting vote totals. | ||
* | *The candidates are ranked from first to last according to net votes, if two candidates have an equal number of net votes, the candidate with a lower number of opposing votes is ranked above the candidate with a lower number of opposing votes. | ||
* | *The candidate(s) with the highest ranks are winners. | ||
*In the event of a tie, the bureaucrats may break the tie by simple majority vote. | |||
*If the term lengths are unequal, the longest term goes to the highest ranking winning candidate. | |||
*If any additional seats become available between the end of stage 0 and the end of this stage, the term length for those seats is the same as the shortest term length among those outlined in stage 0. | |||
