Since the election is for Pro Webmaster, I'm asking it here. How does the voting take place? First past the post Alternative Transferable Vote Single Transferable Vote Not that it really matters, I'm just curious.

Since there's a moderator election about to happen here on sa.se, and since I've been wondering this in general for se sites... doesn't the word nomination seem inaccurate? Shouldn't it be labeled as something closer to "now accepting volunteers"? If you're talking about other places that use th...

On the main site, the community moderator banner has disappeared. I can still see it on the meta site and access the election..but is it taken down or just my PC glitching up?

I had a look at the moderator candidates and 3 very good candidates reside more or less in the same timezone (according to their profile-page). So I was wondering if that's something to consider for the moderator election? If we had moderators from around the globe, site moderation could be more...

There are high reputation users like T.., Moron and others, who have a good track record and thus can be viable moderator candidates. It would be nice if the requirement of divulging the real name is relaxed, so that such people can contest in the elections if they so wish.

If you associate an account at Stackoverflow and such sites to an account at this website, you automatically get 100 reputation and voting abilities and whatnot. So without putting any mathematical effort whatsoever, a lot of people can become voters in the elections. Not good. So I propose that...

The election banner is not visible on the main math.SE site page (although it is visible on this meta site). For me at least, this has been the case for at least the last 13 hours or so. Is this intentional?

Out of curiosity, I looked at an old election thread here. There the OP who was co-ordinating the nominations posits: I think we can all agree that self-nominations should be prohibited. But, recently, the policy has been: All nominations are by definition self-nominations. Nominating o...

Now that the election phase has begun. attempts to click on the "nth choice" buttons beside each candidate result in the titular error message. What, exactly, is going on?

So perhaps this is a dumb question (wouldn't be the first time), but I guess I was under the impression that the mods we're in the process of electing would be augmenting those that we already have, not replacing them. Is that not the case? I was thinking about running, but not if it means potent...

According to my question from a few hours ago we're potentially replacing our current moderators, which is fine, but it does make me wonder why we are only electing 3 moderators to replace the 4 that we currently have? (@chills42, @Guffa, @jrista, and @Rowland Shaw) Wouldn't it make more sense to...

I noticed yesterday that the election link is no longer featured on the main site. Is this [status-by-design]? As far as I remember, this link has been present on all SE sites that underwent election until their conclusion. The link is still present on meta, though. Edit: Link to the meta.SO qu...

For example, if you were me, you could go to http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/recent/1189?StartDate=2011-02-18&EndDate=2011-02-18 and see a recent comment by Martin Tapankov on his self-nomination which was addressed to me. But, instead of a link to that post, you would see ... well, nothin...

In the current EL&U moderator elections most candidates, except one from UK, are from the USA what is somehow predetermines the situation that I shall be unmoderated for long periods of time since I am at GMT+6. I am afraid that my posts would not be closed and deleted promptly enough. ...

Will the current EL&U moderator elections thread be available for reading after election? How, for example, to access election threads on past SO moderators elections?

It’s very important to pick the right moderators for the future of this community. Here is a first (grouped) question I would like to ask. I strongly encourage other members to do the same. In introductions I've seen many different way of describing moderation. I’ve seen words like serving, lea...

Jeff suggests that we ask questions to nominees on meta with the Election tag. So far I've seen four ways to ask questions to nominees: Right in the comments of nominee's introduction. One question in a meta, every nominee can answer (Jeff's suggestion). Many questions in a meta post (used on ...

Well, I just recalced and lost a few hundred points, it might not be a bad idea for everyone else to do the same in the interest of full disclosure. Purely voluntary of course.
