New Stewards are elected on a roughly annual process in a process that has been ongoing since early 2005. An 80% support ratio is required for promotion, which is formally conducted by the Board of Trustees. Prescribed suffrage requirements are met by participants in the election and by candidates themselves, who must be over 18 and able to provide identification to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Orchestrated confirmation and discussion of the currently-existing Steward cohort was first undertaken in 2007. These confirmations run in concurrence with elections and are used to determine whether Stewards should retain their rights.
