Welcome to the election chat room! The election is in the nomination phase, and currently there is 1 candidate. I can answer commonly-asked questions about elections (type @ElectionBot help for more info).
Examples of election FAQs I can help with: - what is an election - how to nominate myself - how to vote - who should I vote for - how is candidate score calculated - what is my candidate score - what are the moderation/participation/editing badges - what is the election status - when is the election starting/ending - when is the next phase - how many positions are elected - who are the candidates - who are the current mods - what is Single Transferable Vote? - what is Meek STV?
Meek STV is a version of STV with a more fine-tuned transfer of surplus (excess) votes. Please see OpaVote's in-depth explanation of Meek STV for more info.
The 40-point candidate score is calculated this way: 1 point for each 1,000 reputation up to 20,000 reputation (20 points); and 1 point for each of the 8 moderation, 6 editing, and 6 participation badges (20 points)
Interrupting to bring you this important message: The election is in the nomination phase, and currently there are 2 candidates. I can answer commonly-asked questions about elections (type @ElectionBot help for more info).

@user1271772 Your candidate score is 2 (out of 40). You are missing these badges: Civic Duty, Cleanup, Constituent, Convention, Copy Editor, Deputy, Electorate, Enthusiast, Explainer, Investor, Marshal, Organizer, Refiner, Reviewer, Sportsmanship, Steward, Strunk & White, Tag Editor. Having a high score is not a requirement - you can still nominate yourself!
