| May 20, 2022 at 19:08 | comment | added | V2Blast StaffMod | 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... | |

| Nov 27, 2021 at 11:48 | comment | added | The Amplitwist | 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.) | |

| Nov 12, 2021 at 20:11 | comment | added | ben is uǝq backwards | 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 | |
| Nov 12, 2021 at 19:35 | comment | added | V2Blast StaffMod | 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... | |

| Jun 2, 2021 at 17:59 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A Слава Україні | 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. | |

| Jun 2, 2021 at 17:26 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | @Mari-LouA Fixing 1 and 2. 3 is incorrect as that implies that others must nominate them; instead, users must themselves nominate in it. | |

| Jun 1, 2021 at 23:21 | history | edited | BSMP | CC BY-SA 4.0 | The correct term is "pro tem", short for "pro tempore". (I also don't think it's necessary to keep quoting the terms once they've been defined.) |

| Mar 21, 2017 at 6:14 | comment | added | ben is uǝq backwards | 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. | |
| Mar 20, 2017 at 23:31 | comment | added | msb | 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... :( | |
