Good luck all, my votes are cast and I have voted totally based on how I believe that user will benefit the forums from a moderation stand point. 7 hours to go.

Three hours... I've never followed an election this close before (obviously), but what will happen when election period ends? Will there be an immediate result, or is there a grace period before new mods are presented?

so excited! Thanks to all the people voting! It's almost as though the election may have made a small impact to the activity of SP.SE. Hopefully it will continue to increase.
@BennySkogberg @BennySkogberg if you ever want Louisiana hospitality and a great food/culture experience, just let me know!

@KitMenke I hope new SharePoint enthusiasts can learn about SP.SE quickly instead of relying on MSDN forums. Hopefully, it will be a common option to come here.

You have to download OpenSTV from the link and then run the ballot using MeekSTV. No, I have no idea what it means either.

Seems to be some algorithm to calculate the relative weight of 1,2,3 votes. But to me it is hardly understandable

Why aren't the moderators updated?
SPDoctor

As far as I remember, new mods have to sign an agreement with StackExchange so it is not instantaneous.
