Candidates will be appointed in decreasing order of their percentage of support, as calculated by <b>support/(support + oppose)</b>, until all seats are filled or no more candidates meet the required support percentage. There will be a <i>neutral</i> option; choosing this option will not affect the support percentage for the candidate, and will be treated as though you did not vote in the election with respect to that candidate. </p><p>The minimum percentage of support that is required is 60% for a two-year term, and 50% for a one-year term. Candidates who receive 60% support will be appointed to a full two-year term if they are in the top eight of support percentage, and to a one-year term if they are between ninth and eleventh place of support percentage, inclusive. If there are any remaining seats to be filled, candidates who receive ≥50% support but fall below the 60% threshold will be appointed to serve a one-year term. In this event, if the candidate is in the top eight of support percentage, the seat will be refilled by a one-year term in the next election. If any of the four current arbitrators in midterm resign or otherwise leave the committee before the start of voting, the seat they vacate will be filled for a one-year term in this election. If there are more vacant seats than candidates with the required minimum support, those seats will remain vacant until the next election. </p> <div class="timeline-wrapper"><map

Elections December 2019/Coordination</a></div> <p>The Arbitration Committee elections are organized entirely by community volunteers, independent of the Arbitration Committee itself. Before every election, an RfC is held so that the community may propose and implement any changes to the format of the election. Any rules or practices that were not specifically changed by the RfC are carried over from the previous election. </p><p>Ordinary editors who help run the day-to-day operations of the election are known as <b>coordinators</b>. Election coordinators have no special authority or abilities, but facilitate the smooth running of the election in any way that is needed. Editors interested in helping run the election can add their names <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:COORD19#Coordinators" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:COORD19">here</a>. </p><p>The three-member <b>Electoral Commission</b> is appointed by the community in a separate RfC before the election. Commissioners are responsible for addressing any unforeseen problems that may arise in the election process, and for adjudicating any disputes relating to the election. The Election Commission has the full mandate and authority to decisively settle any issues that arise. In addition, while the Electoral Commission itself is not inherently responsible for logistics of the election, Commissioners should ensure that preparations for the election move forward in a timely fashion. As such, Commissioners are <i>de facto</i> coordinators and usually have an active role in running the election. </p><p>The last group of volunteers are the <b>scrutineers</b>. Three scrutineers are drawn from <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards" class="extiw" title="meta:Stewards">Stewards</a> who primarily work at <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_projects" class="extiw" title="meta:List of projects">other projects</a>. Scrutineers are responsible for providing oversight for the voting process itself. Scrutineers' responsibilities include guarding against abuse and technical errors, ensuring that valid votes are counted while invalid ones are discarded, and confirming that the final tally of votes is correct and certifying the official results. Scrutineers work behind the scenes and are not otherwise involved in coordinating the more minor areas of the election. The Electoral Commission is the liaison between the scrutineers and the rest of the community. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Guides" data-mw-thread-id="h-Guides"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Guides"></span>Guides<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Guides"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2019&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Guides"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See the <a href="#Election_timeline">"Election timeline"</a> section above for voter and candidate eligibility requirements</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="For_candidates" data-mw-thread-id="h-For_candidates-Guides"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-For_candidates-Guides"></span>For candidates<span data-mw-comment-end="h-For_candidates-Guides"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2019&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: For candidates"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Nominations for candidates will open at 00:00 UTC, 3 November and will close at 23:59 UTC, 12 November.

The process will be conducted using the <a href="/wiki/Special:SecurePoll" title="Special:SecurePoll">SecurePoll</a> extension which ensures that individual voters' decisions will not be publicly viewable (although technical information about voters, such as their IP address and user-agents, will be visible to the WMF-identified election administrators and scrutineers). </p><p>Voters will be invited to choose one of three options for each candidate: "Support", "Oppose" or "Neutral"; and the number of "Support", "Oppose" or "Neutral" preferences a voter can express is otherwise limited only by the number of candidates. After voters have entered their choices for all of the candidates and submitted their votes, they may revisit and change their decisions, but attempting to do so will require expressing preferences for all candidates from scratch. Because of the risk of server lag, voters are advised to cast their vote at the latest <u>an hour before the close of voting</u> to ensure their vote will be counted. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238436933"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1255103175"><table class="plainlinks ombox ombox-notice ace-banner" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><span typeof="mw:File"><span title="ArbCom"><img alt="ArbCom" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Judges_cupola.svg/50px-Judges_cupola.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Judges_cupola.svg/75px-Judges_cupola.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Judges_cupola.svg/100px-Judges_cupola.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="155" data-file-height="123"/></span></span></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="ace-banner-navbar"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1239400231"><div class="navbar plainlinks hlist navbar-mini"><ul><li class="nv-view"><a href="/wiki/Template:ACE2019" title="Template:ACE2019"><abbr title="View this template">v</abbr></a></li><li class="nv-talk"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:ACE2019&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Template talk:ACE2019 (page does not exist)"><abbr title="Discuss this template">t</abbr></a></li><li class="nv-edit"><a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Template:ACE2019" title="Special:EditPage/Template:ACE2019"><abbr title="Edit this template">e</abbr></a></li></ul></div></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist ace-banner-lead-links"><ul><li><span class="ace-banner-mainpage"><a class="mw-selflink selflink">2019 Arbitration Committee Elections</a></span></li><li><a class="external text" href="https://vote.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/list/759">Voter Log</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2019/Coordination" title="Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2019/Coordination">Contact the coordinators</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2019" title="Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2019">Discuss the elections</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:5-minute_guide_to_ArbCom_elections" title="Wikipedia:5-minute guide to ArbCom elections">Quick guide</a></li></ul></div><span class="ace-banner-candidates">Candidates: </span><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist ace-banner-candidates-links inline"><ul><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2019/Candidates/Guide" title="Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2019/Candidates/Guide">Candidate guide</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2019/Candidates" title="Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2019/Candidates">Candidate statements</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2019/Questions" title="Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2019/Questions">Questions for the candidates</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2019/Candidates/Discussion" title="Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2019/Candidates/Discussion">Discuss the candidates</a></li></ul></div><div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> <div class="ace-banner-guides-title"><div>Personal voter guides</div></div> <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> <p>These <a href="/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_Arbitration_Committee_Elections_2024_voter_guides" title="Category:Wikipedia Arbitration Committee Elections 2024 voter guides">guides</a> represent the thoughts of their authors.
