NOTE: The elections process for the Fedora 31 cycle will begin after the release.

== Upcoming elections
The following elections will take place after the Fedora 31 release:
* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Development/SteeringCommittee/Nominations[FESCo (Engineering)] (5 seats)
* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Council/Nominations[Council/Nominations|Fedora Council] (1 seat)
* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mindshare/Nominations[Mindshare] (1 seat)
=== Schedule
All the periods below start at 00:00:00UTC and end at 23:59:59UTC).
Dates may change based on the final release date.
See the https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-31/f-31-elections-tasks.html[election schedule] for authoritative dates.

== Elections process
=== Selection of questions from Questionnaire
From the set of collected questions for nominees to FESCo (Engineering), Fedora Council, and Mindshare|Mindshare teams, top 3 questions are selected, based on https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/156[Council decision].
The selected questions will be given to each candidate to answer before the voting period begins as part of campaign.
////
Selected questions:
* [https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2012 FESCo (Engineering) - ticket #2012]
* [https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/231 Fedora Council - ticket #231]
* [https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/61 Mindshare - ticket #61]
////
The top 3 selected questions for each team are published in https://pagure.io/fedora-project-schedule/blob/master/f/elections/[Pagure].
=== Nominations for Elected Positions
During this period you may self-nominate to open seats.
If you wish to nominate someone else, please consult with that person ahead of time.
Wiki nomination pages carry additional details about the nominee which the nominee is expected to write.
=== Interviews
Nominees are requested to answer the selected questions using a https://pagure.io/fedora-project-schedule/issues[private issue in Pagure].
In this way, only the Program Manager and Fedora Action and Impact Coordinator (as election wrangler substitute) are allowed to see these answers.
=== Voting Setup & Validation & Publishing of interviews
It is the responsibility of the Program Manager to validate the eligibility of nominees for elections.
In compliance with https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/135[Fedora Council decision #135], nominees not having completed their interviews (as aprivate issue in Pagure]) are excluded from the list of nominees.
The Program Manager is responsible for publishing these interviews on the http://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/[Fedora Community Blog] as well as setup of the https://elections.fedoraproject.org/[voting machine] for the elections.
=== Voting Information
The http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Contributor_Documentation/1/html/Fedora_Elections_Guide/index.html[Fedora Elections Guide] has information on the voting method used in the Fedora elections and detailed instructions on how to cast your vote.
If you are familiar with the voting process, you may go straight to the https://elections.fedoraproject.org/[elections application] to cast your votes.

Also, if I document these things better, that would make life easier, too.
Maybe for Fedora 31.
