Hi all,
Volunteers in the 2022 Board of Trustees election
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022>
are
invited to vote for statements to use in the Election Compass
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Election_Compass/Statements>.
You can vote for the statements you would like to see included in the
Election Compass on Meta-wiki.
An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that
best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose
statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale
(agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be
loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering
in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results
will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.
Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:
- July 8 - 20: Volunteers propose statements for the Election Compass
- July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and
removes off-topic statements
- July 25 - August 3: Volunteers vote on the statements
- August 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
- August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
- August 16: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide
their voting decision
The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning
of August.
Best,
Movement Strategy and Governance
