Huh? What are we Electing?

In case you missed it, the Drupal community electing one candidate to serve a two-year term on the Drupal Association Board of Directors. There are two At-Large (community elected) seats on the Board. The other seat is currently held by Matthew Saunders. We've got a really global slate of candidates to consider, and we encourage you to get to know them by listening to the Meet the Candidates sessions and asking them questions on their candidate profile pages. 

Who can vote?

Voting is open to all individuals who have a Drupal.org account by the time nominations opened and who have logged in at least once in the past year. These individuals' accounts will be added to the voters list on association.drupal.org and they will have access to the voting.

To vote, you will rank candidates in order of your preference (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). The results will be calculated using an "instant runoff" method. For an accessible explanation of how instant runoff vote tabulation works, see videos linked in this discussion.

Elections process

Voting will be held from 9 March, 2015 through 20 March, 2015. During this period, you can review and comment on candidate profiles on assoc.drupal.org and engage all candidates through posting to the Drupal Association group. We'll also be scheduling and announcing three phone-in all candidates meetings, where community members and candidates can ask questions and get to know each other.

Have questions? Please contact Drupal Association Executive Director Holly Ross. Many thanks to nedjo for pioneering this process and documenting it so well in the past!
