2009 Board elections
Organization

The 2009 elections to the Board of Trustees will be held between July 28th and August 10th 2009. Members of the Wikimedia community have the chance to elect three candidates to become a member of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is the group who are in charge of the Wikimedia Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered in the United States. The Wikimedia Foundation manages many diverse projects such as Wikipedia and Commons.

The elections will be held securely on servers belonging to an independent third party, which hasn't been chosen yet. Votes are secret and can only be seen by the chosen few people who are in charge of the election. Voters will submit their ranked choices by numbering candidates. The votes will be tallied using the Schulze method to rank candidates based on the number of voters who prefer that candidate over other candidates.

The Election Committee plans to announce the results on or before August 12th. Detailed results will be available.
