@GraceNote where you said "you need at least 3 candidates to nominate for the election to actually proceed", which is now moot, would you be able to verify what would have happened if the nomination phases ended with only two candidates for two positions, please? I would have expected "elected unopposed" would have happened rather than the election being "abandoned".
I tried finding out from Meta Stack Exchange and other sources, but I could not see the above scenario mentioned anywhere.
@PolyGeo We extend the nomination phase by another week first. If that fails, well, current protocol is we would kill the election but we've yet to do that.
@GraceNote thanks! Hopefully no election will ever need to be killed. I think they are a great opportunity for all in a community to think about what their community means to them.
