As I'm up in the night with a cup of camomile to get me sleepy again, I went and voted. Checking candidate statements and voting took me about 5 minutes. It's easy and quick.
I skipped Smallbones' guide, and didn't bother with any others as there are too many old griefs being waived about.
This year sees a much more interesting selection of candidates, though a lack of any *openly* LGBT candidates as far as I could tell from the statements. Perhaps fear of being accused of having a "gay agenda" remains a sticky problem for the English Wikipedia?

Members of this list may be interested in Smallbones' voter guide for the election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Smallbones/ACE2015 It focuses mainly on candidate's positions regarding harassment and bullying, especially towards women editors, although it also considers other qualifications such as experience and consistency.
