FAQ for voters
Are there requirements to be eligible to vote?
Yes, there are. The Elections Committee decides the voting eligibility criteria. You can use the AccountEligibility tool to quickly verify your voting eligibility.
How many times may I vote?
The rule is: one person, one vote. If you have multiple accounts that meet the voter requirement, you can still only vote once. Votes from multiple accounts belonging to the same individual will be struck. To meet the editor voting eligibility, your contributions will be counted across all wikis, if it’s your home-wiki or any other.
If you inadvertently vote twice, you should contact the Elections Committee and ask for the additional votes to be struck.
If you decide to change your vote, you may do so up until the moment the vote closes. This can be because you have changed your mind or if you have made a mistake. Simply vote again and your previous vote will be struck.
How does the STV on SecurePoll work?
Depending on the platform you are using to vote, you will see either drop-down selections or a drag-and-drop interface.
In both interfaces, the voting software requires you to rank at least one candidate.
| If you are voting through the web, you will encounter a drag-and-drop interface | If you are voting through mobile or if you don’t have Javascript enabled, you will encounter a drop-down selection |
|---|---|

You can re-vote in the election, which will overwrite your previous vote. You can do this as many times as you like up until the moment the vote closes.
How does transferring votes work? Why shouldn't I rank every candidate?
The voting system is meant to allow voters to rank candidates in the order of preference. Ranking a candidate means that the voter is willing to support that candidate if the higher-ranked candidates are either elected or eliminated.
During the tallying process, votes are initially allocated to each voter's top-ranked candidate. If that candidate is elected with surplus votes or eliminated due to insufficient support, the vote is transferred to the next ranked candidate, and so on.
For example, imagine a voter ranks candidates A, B, C, and D, but not E or F. If candidates A, B, and C are either elected or eliminated, the vote would be transferred to candidate D. If D is also elected or eliminated, and the voter did not rank E or F, the vote becomes exhausted and is no longer transferred. To indicate willingness to support E or F, the voter should rank them as well.
How do I know who to vote for?
You can use the following resources to decide who to vote for:
- Click their names to review their applications
- Watch the candidates' video statements
Why are only some of the answers in the candidate application translated?
In order to help with voter evaluation, translations are being made available in a number of languages. Translations will be made available for the required questions. The optional questions and answers were intentionally not marked for translation in the template or candidate profile pages for capacity reasons.
I can see the usernames of the voters. Can I or others see how I voted?
The voter list is public; you can see who has cast a vote. This list is used by the scrutineers to make sure all the votes are valid. However, no one can see how someone voted; your vote is not attributable to you.
Questions regarding the August 21 announcement
What do the bylaws say about seating Trustees?
Section 3 of the bylaws refers to the selection and seating of Trustees.
When did the Foundation begin implementing background checks as part of the Board nomination process?
To ensure compliance with the Board’s duty of care, and as outlined in the Board Handbook, the Foundation implemented background checks routinely beginning in July 2013. Media checks were formally added in 2016 as part of the background check process.
The background check and media check are initiated by the Wikimedia Foundation and completed with the assistance of external service providers with specialist expertise. The checks vary in length of time depending on several factors, including where a person is located.
Why is this process being done before the final results of the election?
This is based on best practices, increased scrutiny the board faces and to reduce uncertainty around candidate eligibility before community members vote. This change will ensure that all candidates in the voting roster are eligible to be seated. It also means that the community does not go through a voting process where the Board is then unable to implement the outcome. The final two candidates will still need to be appointed by the Board in a vote, which requires an executive session meeting in November.
The Elections Committee, in discussion with the Board Liaisons, has decided to open the voting period on October 8. The voting period will close October 23.
Who will have access to the information in the candidates background check?
The Secretary of the Board and a member of the Foundation’s People Department will have access to the results. They will not share identifiable information like address or other personal information except as required to complete the background check. If the background check process identifies information that indicates that a candidate may not be able to serve on the Board, the Secretary will raise this issue and share information with the Board Chair to determine what action is appropriate and whether additional information may need to be shared with the Board of Trustees.
What kinds of issues may disqualify a candidate from being seated and what might be announced if a candidate is disqualified?
This holistic process is intended to assess the fitness of candidates to be seated on the Board of the Wikimedia Foundation, a U.S.-based non-profit organization. The checks will determine legal requirements, the ability of a candidate to fulfill the duties of a Trustee, as well as a determination of temperament, judgment, and discretion that comes from the Governance Committee interview and the information collected in the media and background checks. This process has been in place for several years and is regularly evaluated to ensure it meets the needs of the Board. If the Board determines that a candidate cannot be seated based on the outcome of these processes, the candidate will be informed before the election. They will then have the opportunity to withdraw before the voting begins, though this may not be the only reason a candidate chooses to withdraw. In the unlikely event that the Board deems it necessary, e.g. to correct the record or for safety, the Board may make a public statement on disqualifying a candidate.
If any candidate is disqualified through this process, will one of the six non-shortlisted candidates be brought in as a finalist?
No, we will not go back to the non-shortlisted candidates and add any to this process. We are changing only the timing of when the background and media checks are run to determine if each candidate can be seated before voting takes place, given the organisation's increased visibility and potential higher risks to individuals. Had a candidate been disqualified after voting had taken place, the election results would have been recalculated to determine the next highest voted person. No new candidates would have been introduced to the process.
