Announcements - NixOS DiscourseAfter receiving feedback concerning the availability of information in the election, the EC has decided to cancel the previous attempt and to re-start the OpaVote election for the third Steering Committee election.
See the linked discussions for the full context.
We ask all voters to cast their votes again.
In this election, 4 seats on the SC are contested. All 4 seats are up for the full 2-year term.
Eligible voters have received an email with a link to vote.

The election uses Meek STV, a proportional voting method where candidates are ranked in order of preference, with your most preferred candidate first. Read more about it here: Single Transferable Vote (STV)
You must rank all candidates.
The vote stays open until 2026-11-13 anywhere on Earth.
