2013 Arbitration Committee Elections
Status
The Arbitration Committee elections are run by the English Wikipedia community. This page lists all of the volunteer staff and their duties. If you have a question or a concern about the election, please notify us on the talk page.
While coordinators have as much right to participate in ordinary voter activity during the election as all other eligible voters (i.e. voting, asking questions, discussing candidates), election volunteers should avoid acting in a way that might cast doubt on their ability to act impartially, or on the perceived neutrality of the coordinators or elections as a whole.
The Electoral Commission is a three-member panel with a mandate to solve disputes and make decisions on unexpected problems. The Electoral Comission is appointed by Jimbo Wales after community input via a Request for comment.
Scrutineers have technical access to the SecurePoll system allowing them to check the validity of cast ballots, and certify the final results. Scrutineers are drawn from Stewards who do not edit the English Wikipedia as their primary wiki.
Coordinators help run the day to day operations of the election. Coordinators are self selected, and interested persons can add their name below.
Set up the SecurePoll interface for the 2013 ArbCom elections. Documentaion is at wikitech:SecurePoll and a little at mw:Extension:SecurePoll. Please note that T56985 has been set up for this. In order to give advanced notice, I'm pinging @ Philippe (WMF): and also @ Jalexander: and @ Okeyes (WMF): who have helped in the past. 64.40.54.186 ( talk) 04:02, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

The nomination period of Electoral Commission candidates has now past. The following is a list of candidates and their ID status to the Foundation.
The ACE RfC states the Electoral Commission should be in place before ArbCom nominations start on 00:01 (UTC), Sunday, 10 November. Does that mean the candidates need to be identified to the Foundation before that or can it be after? 64.40.54.112 ( talk) 03:16, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
As we're running behind schedule a bit, I decided to do the notifications. I left messages at WP:VPP, WP:VPM, WT:AC and WP:AN. I've also left a note at MediaWiki talk:Watchlist-details for a watchlist notice per WP:ACERFC. Could somebody please add a note to {{ CENT}} as that page is semi'd and I can't edit it. Thanks. 64.40.54.211 ( talk) 07:24, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Do we still use
tools:~pathoschild/accounteligibility/ to check voter eligibility? It doesn't look like it was used for the Board elections last summer. If it is still used, we probably need to leave a message for
m:User talk:Pathoschild to have it updated for the elections. Thanks.
