• Thank you for participating in the 2023 Arbitration Committee Elections. The certified results have been posted.

Election volunteer guidelines

While coordinators have as much right to participate in ordinary voter activity during the election as all other eligible voters (i.e. voting, asking questions, discussing candidates), election volunteers should avoid acting in a way that might cast doubt on their ability to act impartially, or on the perceived neutrality of the coordinators or elections as a whole.

Election volunteers

Electoral Commission

The Electoral Commission is a three-member panel with a mandate to solve disputes and make decisions on unexpected problems. The Electoral Commission is appointed by the community after input via a request for comment.

Scrutineers

Coordinators
