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)

@PauloCereda sorry, not how it works right now yet (but we are working on making it possible to use usernames), it uses chat ids, chat URLs, site ids, and site URLs respectively - in addition, you also need to be a moderator (or a developer) to request candidate score for others (thanks for catching a case where it should not respond with how candidate score is calculated, btw)
@OlegValter The candidate score for user Paulo Cereda is 33 (out of 40). The user is missing these badges: Cleanup, Constituent, Copy Editor, Marshal, Refiner, Reviewer, Steward.
@PauloCereda NP, we are expanding on the features of the ElectionBot - it is currently handling 5 elections at the same time :) What happened to the bot in the TeX chat, btw?
@OlegValter I rewrote it a couple of times, then I got busy with other stuff. :) It originally ran under my account with a JS wrapper, then I moved it to another implementation in Java.
@PauloCereda ah, the usual lack of time is the culprit :) may be worth getting it some exposure to get a maintainer that will help bring it back up (maybe posting its introduction on Stack Apps)! Ours is written in Node.js
And now for something completely different - The election is in the nomination phase, and currently there are 3 candidates. I can answer commonly-asked questions about elections (type @ElectionBot help for more info).
@CarLaTeX Your candidate score is 37 (out of 40). You are missing these badges: Cleanup, Constituent, Marshal. Perhaps consider nominating in the election?
@CarLaTeX since this is not the part of the responses, I'll act as its doppelganger here: under the Meek STV voting method, you rank candidates in order of preference. Surplus votes are transferred between candidates to ensure a more even distribution of votes. You still have only one vote, but it can "jump around" in order of your preference. You are also not required to rank all of them
@CarLaTeX NP - some day the bot will be able to answer those too. STV/Meek STV responses were added, like, literally two days ago, so there is a long way to go :)
