I would encourage everyone to take a look at the second link Mike provided. I recommend reading the entire talk page and, if you have time, the talk page for the candidate guidelines[1] and for the election itself[2]; you will get a better idea of how this election has been managed so far and can evaluate the elections committee's behavior and the candidates' behavior based on that.

Hi,

On the other hand, every other candidate was against this deviation from
the established process, see the response at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Wikipedia_Signpost/2022-08-01/Election_guide#Comment_from_candidates

As was the election committee, see:

(under 'From the Elections Committee').

Thanks,
Mike
