@Daniil speaking from personal experience: even if you don't get elected, it's good to write down why you want to nominate yourself (sort of like an application letter or resume), and answer the questionnaire. It really helps in future elections (also on other sites); I've learned a lot from my first nomination on Puzzling.

@Glorfindel appreicate it if you could edit my name into the main questionnaire post since I can't suggest edits
Thank you! If there was an option to make only the questionnaire question community wiki (but not the answers) I'd have asked for an election policy change on the main Meta. Somebody else had to add a link to my answer too, during the Ask Different election.

@Catija I was wondering if there is a list of historical/upcoming elections across all SE sites?
@Daniil not really. There’s a user hosted page that does... @Glorfindel May have the link... but the official page that tracked upcoming elections broke a while back.

I'm really happy to see more nominations. I think that, whatever the results of the election are, it's going to be good for our site and good for our community.
@Catija Bummer. There is a link to the questionnaire page at the top, and if anyone clicks on their "meta" posts they'll see it too, so probably not a big deal.
@Luc Mods have all privileges and more unlocked merely by having the diamond, so a mod could give away all of their reputation in bounties and still be able to participate fully.
@Luc If you give away enough reputation through bounties that your reputation drops below levels for certain privileges, you will lose them until your rep goes back up again.
As a mod, you will always be able to edit without peer review etc.
Lol, oops what Catija said. I should have read ahead!
