Some background:

Supervisor Terms

As explained at last year’s election results, Sven, Jared and Justin are on a two-year term, while Michael and Rodrigo would stand for re-election this year. However, Michael Lewis chose not to continue his supervisor role, therefore the election should fill his seat as well. We thank Michael for his work and hope he will remain a valuable member of the Dash community for many years to come.

That means three seats are now available to be filled in the upcoming election – the one of Michael as well as two previously vacant ones.

Election Process

We will use the same process based on DAO proposals as last time. It worked well and using Dash’s own inherent system feels more natural than some external and most likely trust-based voting system.

As last time, we will not count No votes, this choice was discussed in the forum and explained in our last call for applications. Therefore, please do not vote “No” or “Abstain”! Your vote would be wasted. The three candidates with the most “Yes” votes will be elected.

Schedule

We’re aiming to conduct the election at the October budget cycle ending with superblock 2,160,080. Candidate proposals will be posted on Dash Central after the previous budget cycle ends around Sep 23. While we can post additional candidate profiles for voting during the budget cycle, we encourage you to submit your application early to maximize your chances.

• 2024-09-23 Soft deadline for application submissions
• 2024-09-25 Candidate profiles posted as treasury proposals, vote collection opens
• 2024-10-20 Voting ends at block 2,158,418 (1662 blocks before superblock)

If you have any further questions about the role or the election process, please comment here or on the election thread in the forum. We’re looking forward to your applications and wish all candidates the best of success!
