emacs.meta.stackexchange.com/a/520/21 - Gilles wrote an answer on emacs when their election had to be extended, about scenarios where the lack of moderation interest derived a lot from a lack of active need for it.

It might mean "No one in the community cares enough about moderation". But it could also be that the current time that the election is being held is inopportune for those who would've thought to run. Or something else.

Q: 2018 Community Moderator Election - Nomination Phase Extended

Grace NoteThe nomination phase of the moderator elections was scheduled to end today. However, we have insufficient candidates - for a 2 slot election, 3 candidates minimum is required. This ensures that the community is able to actually vote for candidates (avoiding default appointment) and also serves to...

Reminder that moderatorship is meant to be volunteer work, not a second occupation, if time is a concern. The extant mods on Android Enthusiasts would be able to give you a better picture of the load of work for this site specifically, but in general we mostly seek pinpricks of time for our mods, to handle exceptions and make sure flags aren't unseen.

Nov 12, 2018 17:26
@AndrewT. Glad to hear you're going to run. The only thing worse than making an extension, is making one that doesn't attract any new candidates. We'll indeed be extending the election today, and I still encourage anyone interested in candidacy to consider further.
Grace Note
Nov 6, 2018 12:15
If there are 2 or fewer candidates by the end of the nomination phase, then we extend the nomination phase for 1 week. If there continue to not be enough candidates after 2 weeks, we suspend the election temporarily and figure out when best to reconvene.
Grace Note
Nov 6, 2018 12:14
Just to add on - for the election to actually proceed, at least 3 candidates will be required.

Just to clarify since I missed the ping somehow - you can ask folks to nominate themselves (be that through chat or your meta), but they have to choose to actually nominate themselves from that nudging.

I say on every questionnaire that it's optional for candidates to participate, with the implicit understanding that shying from answering is in itself a statement and would have its own image consequences.

Then we'll take appropriate action as we did last time. Perhaps faster, as it were.
Grace Note
Aug 1, 2018 11:54
I'm aware, but were I given the option twixt embracing security for an old wound under the older system process, and encouraging folks to take advantage of the newer process that already adds extra days and shifts the schedule to accommodate interrogation and discussion, I'm preferential to see how the latter goes.
Grace Note
Aug 1, 2018 11:48
I think it's excessive because we've already given everyone extra weeks to dwell on things, plus pushed the Q&A to the nomination phase which allows more analysis and discussion of candidates during the nomination phase itself. That, and the existence of a primary doesn't extend the election, it merely just occupies the first four days. Mod elections aren't meant to be a highly thought intensive process.

If there's less candidates than a primary requires, it skips to the election phase
