2015 English Wikipedia Arbitration Committee Election

Hey Stewards,

Once again, the ArbCom election is coming up quickly, and we need 3 stewards to volunteer to serve as scrutineers. Please read the instructions for further information. We would prefer if scrutineers do not have much involvement with enwiki, and did not do the task last year (Barras, Trijnstel, and Matanya), in order to help preserve the integrity of the election. Coordination with the election commission will occur here. The current timetable will have voting between 23 November and 7th December - This year, a slight change means we would like as much of the scrutineering carried out during the voting period as possible, so the results can be announced on time, if not early. Of course, all offers will merit cookies and/or kittens. Please feel free to contact myself or the other members of the election commission (MikeV or Guy Macon) if you have any questions. Thanks in advance, Mdann52 (talk) 14:41, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
