-Thank you for choosing to run in the October 2024 administrator elections. This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process.
-As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
-* October 15–21: [[m:SecurePoll|SecurePoll]] setup phase
-* October 22–24: Discussion phase
-* October 25–31: SecurePoll voting phase
-* November 1–?: Scrutineering phase
-We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase.
-The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a [[Wikipedia:RFA|request for adminship]] (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner.
-On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the [[m:SecurePoll|SecurePoll]] software to vote, which uses a [[secret ballot]]. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The [[Wikipedia:Administrator elections#Who can vote|suffrage requirements]] are different from those at RfA.
-Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the [[Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024|main election page]]. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no [[WP:Bureaucrat discussion|bureaucrat discussions]] ("{{-'}}crat chats").
-Any questions or issues can be asked on the [[Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections|election talk page]]. Thank you for your participation as a candidate, and best of luck.
