    * Position to be Elected:

        The election is for the position of FIDO_SYSOP Echo Moderator.
        The responsibilities of the Moderator include but are not
        limited to:

        -- To maintain and enforce the Echo Rules.

        -- To ensure that the Echo's listing in the ELIST is updated as
           needed.

    * Voter Eligibility:

        The eligible list is based on the FidoNet NodeList published on
        Jul 24, 2015 (Day 205.)

        Each sysop has one vote, regardless of how many nodes s/he
        operates.

        Nodes with more than one sysop get only one vote.

        Nodes marked 'Down' are not eligible to vote.

    * Nominations, Candidates:

        Nominations will be placed in the FIDO_SYSOP echo conference.
        To be a candidate, a FidoNet sysop must be seconded by another
        FidoNet sysop.  An individual may not nominate himself or
        second himself.  Nominations, seconds, and acceptances MUST be
        confirmed via netmail to the vote counter at 1:320/119 BEFORE
        the close of the nomination period.

    * Election:

        At the close of balloting, the vote counter will verify the
        results, and a summary of the results will be posted in
        FIDO_SYSOP.

        The vote counter will not disclose any node's vote to any other
        node.

        In the event only there is only one candidate properly
        nominated s/he will become the new Moderator, effective Jun 19,
        2015.

    * Comments by the Candidates:

        Comments by Moderator candidates are to be posted in FIDO_SYSOP
        no later than 23:59 on Aug 14.  After that, they must STOP
        campaigning in FIDO_SYSOP until the voting period ends.  All
        discussion will take place in FIDO_SYSOP.

    * Who Wins?

        The winner will be determined as the candidate receiving more
        than half of the number of valid votes, otherwise known as a
        majority.

    * Challenges, Election Results:

        The results may be challenged by sending netmail to the
        Enforcer at 1:320/119.  It must be received before 23:59:59 UTC
        on Sep 12, 2015.  No complaints or contested votes will be
        considered if received late.

        If the election is declared invalid, a new election shall begin as
        soon as possible, within 14 days of the previous election being
declared
        invalid.

    * How to SEND your vote:

        ALL BALLOTS MUST BE NETMAIL ADDRESSED TO 'Enforcer' at 1:320/119.

        You can route your ballot if you choose, but if you value your
        privacy and want to ensure arrival, you should send it directly
        to 1:320/119.  Return receipts will be sent via direct or
        routed netmail.  Those return receipts will contain NO
        information except that a vote was received from your node.

    * HOW TO VOTE:

        - Write a a NETMail message addressed to 'Enforcer' at 1:320/119.

        - Subject line doesn't matter.

        - Write the name of the valid candidate you want to vote for in
          the body of the message.  A final list of valid candidates
          will be posted on Jun 19 in FIDO_SYSOP.  Write-in candidates
          are not allowed.

        - Make up a password of ten (10) characters or less, and put
          that in the body of the message too.

        NOTE:  Your password will be displayed (case insensitive) with
        your choice in FIDO_SYSOP so you can know that your ballot was
        counted correctly.

        In addition, votes received that do not meet ALL of the above
        conditions will not be counted until corrected by the voter.

          - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

      When your vote is received, it will NOT be machine-processed.
      Don't poll to pick up a receipt.  The Enforcer will send a direct
      or routed netmail receipt to you confirming that he received a
      ballot but there will be no other information in the receipt.

      To ensure that your vote was counted properly, you may check the
      periodic posting of passwords/candidates in FIDO_SYSOP.

    * That's it.  Enjoy the election!
