Recently, it was decided that we should have a nominated homepage award be added to the existing group here. The following page is to host this election process. The election prcoess will consist of two stages- nominating and voting. To be eligible for nomination, the candidate must meet the criteria listed below. The nomination process is where a user may either put an eligible user forward (with the nominee's acceptance), or to put themselves forward, provided that the nominee meets the criteria. The process lasted for three days. Once the voting phase has begin, it will last for at least one week. To be eligible to vote, a user must have made at least 200 edits by 02:00, Dec 24, 2010 (UTC). Users can make a maximum of two supporting votes. Any number of opposing votes may be made by a user, however a legitimate reason for objection must be provided. Nominees are not permitted to vote. Failure to provide a reason will result in the vote being removed.
