The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at ''']'''.

Here is the schedule:
*October 8–14 - Candidate sign-up ('''we are here''')
*October 22–24 - Discussion phase
*October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:
* The requirements to run are identical to ]—a prospective candidate must be ].
* Prospective candidates are advised to become familar with the community's expectations of adminstrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing ] and ] RFAs, reading the essay ], and possibly requesting an ].
* The process will have a one week call for candidates phase, a one week pause to set up ], a three-day period of public discussion, followed by 7 days of '''no public discussion''' and a private vote using SecurePoll.
* The outcomes of this process are identical to making requests for adminship. There is '''no official difference''' between an administrator appointed through RFA or administrator elections.
* Administrator elections are also a ].

Ask any questions about the process at the ]. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

The discussion phase of the October 2024 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
*October 22–24 - Discussion phase
*October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
*November 1–? - Scrutineering phase

During October 22–24, we will be in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages will open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a ]. You may discuss the candidates at ].

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the ] software to vote, which uses a ]. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The ] are different from those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the ]. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no ] ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the ]. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

]
