    There's currently an election at superuser, and it's in the "election" phase. I only like 2 candidates, do I need to cast all the 3 votes? I arrived here looking for this information but this explanation doesn't seem to answer my question... :( Commented Mar 20, 2017 at 23:31

    No @msb, you definitely don't need to cast all 3 votes vote for whomever you feel comfortable with. I don't even think you need to cast the fjrst vote, but I'm unsure how the scoring situation would deal with that. Commented Mar 21, 2017 at 6:14
  • It would assume no votes I presume, and not have any transference with less than 3 votes,. Commented Mar 21, 2017 at 6:22

    You mean if the first vote is not cast @Journeyman? That would be my assumption also. Commented Mar 21, 2017 at 6:24

    Fix#3: Winners of pro tem elections are elected with the understanding that when the site has its first full election, they must be nominated in that election as a candidate and be re-elected Commented Jun 2, 2021 at 8:42
  • @Mari-LouA Fixing 1 and 2. 3 is incorrect as that implies that others must nominate them; instead, users must themselves nominate in it. Commented Jun 2, 2021 at 17:26

    Nominated means a list of candidates who are eligible for election. If it's made clear in the beginning that candidates are self-nominated it doesn't need to reminded every single time. Commented Jun 2, 2021 at 17:59

    Have there been any primaries held since the updates to the election page? I'm guessing the UI may look a little different so the screenshot may be worth updating... Commented Nov 12, 2021 at 19:35

    Sorry it's just me who gets notified @V2B. I haven't seen any but that doesn't mean much. The announcement only has the candidate view, but if you've got access to election data to find one or a dev environment to construct one that'd work Commented Nov 12, 2021 at 20:11
  • In the section “Phase 2: Primary”, it is mentioned that “There are no comments allowed.” While it’s true that one cannot comment under a candidate’s nomination post in the “Primary” tab on the election page, apparently one can still comment under a candidate’s nomination in the “Nomination” tab. (See: Inbox links break after nomination phase. Admittedly, this is from nearly a decade ago, but the election UI hasn’t really been fiddled around with either, not until the revamping this year.)

  • It seems like the blog link at the end is not very relevant/useful, since there hasn't been a blog post with the "moderators" tag since 2014... Commented May 20, 2022 at 19:08
