Stewards/Elections 2015/Introduction

Other languages:

New stewards are elected roughly once per year. Stewards perform technical tasks on all Wikimedia wikis based on community consensus and on the Stewards policy: changing user access, viewing user information in cases of abuse, and so on (see details).
For more information on voting, translating, or being a candidate, read the guidelines. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.
Candidate submissions are open from 15 January 2015, 00:00 (UTC) until 28 January 2015, 23:59 (UTC). Questions to the candidates can be submitted until the election concludes.
The voting will begin on 08 February 2015, 18:00 (UTC) and end on 28 February 2015, 17:59 (UTC). Candidates must meet the criteria and obtain at least 30 votes in favor with an 80% support ratio. You can track the results with collected statistics.
The confirmation process of the current stewards is being held in parallel.
