To all WA members of the IDU:
The February 2011 delegate election is fast approaching. (Read: We should've started candidate announcements last week) Time to get some things underway!
So, the schedule will be (all dates begin at 0.00GMT):
January 30 - February 6: Candidacy announcements. All WA members who wish to run in the August 2010 elections may announce their candidacy for the delegacy during this time.
January 30 - February 12: Campaigning. All candidates may send telegrams to IDU WA members encouraging them to vote, post campaign messages on the forum, debate with other candidates, and do other campaigning-related activities.
February 13 - 19: Election period. Each WA member is allowed one vote, which must be sent to all members of the Election Commission (Embolalia and Grosseschnauzer). The results will be tallied after the deadline and the results will be revealed ASAP.
Yes, campaigning is being opened up to the announcement phase, as well. If candidates want to campaign early, they may do so at any point after announcing their candidacy until the voting starts.
You may announce your candidacy in this thread, or ask any questions or voice concerns about the election. You may also telegram members of the EC if you wish. We invite all IDU WA members who are in the region as of today to consider candidacy and declare themselves if so wished.
