The election page for this election[1], contains all the information about the election. [1] - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Elections/Council/201606 Please let us know if you find any issues with the page or with the election. In particular, make sure you're listed as a voter[2] or you won't be able to vote in the election. [2] - https://projects.gentoo.org/elections/council/2016/voters-council-201606.= txt The rules for the Council election as well as details on how to vote for this election are available in the Council Elections Archives[3]. In any case, here is the quick procedure on how to vote using votify: * If you're eligible to vote in this election, log in to dev.gentoo.org * Type votify --new council-201606 to create a new ballot file * Edit .ballot-council-201606 file in your home directory and rank the candidates * Once you're finished, use votify --verify council-201606 command to verify the validity of your ballot file * If everything is okay, use votify --submit council-201606 to submit your vote. Don't forget your vote doesn't count until you submit it. * If you run into problems, you can either work them out yourself using votify --help or contact election officials and ask them for help The elections for the Council include the pseudo _reopen_nominations candidate. If the pseudo-candidate '_reopen_nominations' appears in 7th place or higher those candidates that rank above '_reopen_nominations' will be the current council. A second period of election will be opened for the remaining council seats. No third period of election will be opened in the event '_repoen_nominations' ranks higher than the candidates necessary to fill the council[4]. In case there's a need to fill a seat during the council term due to a retirement, if no candidate ranked above the _reopen_nominations_ candidate, a new election must be held to fill that seat. If there were candidates ranked above the _reopen_nominations_ candidate, it's up to the remaining council members to accept the next candidate in order of voting or open an election to fill the open seat.
