Sorry for this title a bit provocating,
but i just wonder how a candidate for the board election 2008
(User:Thekohser, see

can run
with :
* being banned indefinitely on en.wp (see :
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&pa…
)
* having at least 34 blocked sockpuppets on
en.wp (see :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_MyWikiBiz )
Did somebody already checked it, or is it really allowed to vote for
such
candidate ?
I don't know of any of the candidacy requirements that would be
violated by any of that. I would hope people would take it into
account when voting, but if people want to vote for someone that's
been banned from a project, they're allowed to do so. One project
can't dictate whether or not someone can stand for the board of the
whole foundation, can they?

No. Many users are banned on enwiki that are very welcome on other projects.
An example is Poetlister, who until recently was banned from enwiki. She is
a bureaucrat on en.wikiquote.
