3+
4+
## Overview
5+
6+
7+
Each year, the Paketo Buildpacks technical community holds an election for open seats on the
8+
Technical Steering Committee (TSC).
9+
10+
This guide exists to serve as a guide to this year's election process.
11+
12+
13+
## Schedule
14+
15+
- **May 18**: Election is announced and candidate nomination period begins
16+
- **June 1, 5:00 pm PDT**: Candidate nomination period ends
17+
- **June 1, 11:59 pm PDT**: Election begins
18+
- **June 16, 11:59 pm PDT**: Election ends
19+
- **June 20**: Announcement of results
20+
21+
22+
## Candidate Processes
23+
24+
25+
### Nominations
26+
27+
28+
Every eligible voter can nominate candidates for the TSC, and we encourage you to do so. If you are
29+
eligible to serve on the TSC, you can self nominate! If you want to nominate someone else, do so as
30+
well!
31+
32+
33+
You can nominate someone for the TSC by [submitting an issue using this template](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/community/issues/new?assignees=&labels=election&template=paketo-buildpacks-tsc-candidate-nomination.md&title=Paketo+Buildpacks+TSC+Candidate+Nomination+for+%5BPerson+Name%5D).
34+
35+
36+
The deadline is June 1nd to be nominated (and for the nominee to indicate acceptance).
37+
38+
39+
It is strongly recommended that you confirm that a nominee is interested and willing
40+
to accept the nomination prior to submitting the nomination issue.
41+
42+
43+
### Confirming Nominee Eligibility
44+
45+
46+
Once a nomination is received, the CFF staff will contact the nominee to confirm acceptance
47+
of the nomination. If the nominee accepts, they will be added to the list of nominees at the bottom
48+
of this file. The nomination issue will be closed, noting if the nominee accepted or declined the
49+
nomination.
50+
51+
52+
## Voting Process
53+
54+
55+
The 2023 Paketo Buildpacks TSC election will be conducted using a [CFF-managed instance](https://elections.cloudfoundry.org) of [Elekto](https://elekto.dev), a CNCF infrastructure project
56+
that implements Condorcet ranked-choice voting using the Schulze method. Elekto relies on GitHub
57+
for user identity and authentication, which better matches how members interact with the Cloud
58+
Foundry community on a day-to-day basis than the email identity that the [Condorcet Internet Voting
59+
Service](https://civs1.civs.us/) requires.
60+
61+
If Elekto fails to recognize you as eligible to vote in this election even though you believe you
62+
should be, please file a voting exception request [within the Elekto app](https://elections.cloudfoundry.org/app/elections/2023---Paketo-TSC/exception) or [via an issue on the
63+
community repository](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/community/issues/new?assignees=&labels=election&template=request-to-be-elector-for-paketo-buildpacks-tsc-election.md&title=Request+to+be+an+elector+for+Paketo-TSC+election).
64+
65+
Once the official election period starts, you will be able to rank the candidates in your preferred
66+
order and submit your ballot. You may set a password on your ballot, which is required to change
67+
your ballot later within the election period. Once the election period ends, all ballots are final.
68+
69+
All ballot data for Elekto is stored on a database managed by the CFF staff, and is not shared with
70+
third parties. Individual ballot data is encrypted, and ballot data can be retrieved only in
71+
aggregate form.
72+
73+
74+
## Election Results
75+
76+
77+
The newly elected body will be announced via [email protected] and [email protected] on 20 Jun, 2022.
78+
79+
80+
Following the announcement, the voting results and winners will be published.
