Scam Warning
There is an ongoing scam targeting people who wish for articles about themselves to be published on Wikipedia. See this scam warning and this page for detailed information. If you have been scammed, please contact paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org immediately.
On 13 May, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for.
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:14, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
Wow, Gerda - I can't believe it's been ten years! Thank you very much for your kind words. Hope you're keeping well? Patient Zerotalk 00:02, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
In the voting phase, the candidate subpages close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote has a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals 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 vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for a few days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a non-recall candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Recall candidates must achieve 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.
