Any Citizen in good standing is eligible to fill an Editorial Council author seat. Only editors may fill an Editorial Council editor seat. The elected officers will '''complete the terms of office''' of the members who vacate their particular seat as specified by the [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Management_Council_Motions_Passed#2011-043.2C_02_November_2011 Management Council].

* etc.

==Managing Editor election==
Only Editors in good standing are eligible to fill the Managing Editor seat. According the following [[CZ:Charter#Article_26 |charter provision]], the Management Council will select up to four candidates nominated by the community to stand for the Managing Editor office. The current Managing Editor is: [[User:<Managing Editor>|<Managing Editor>]]
 
==Ombudsman election==
Any citizen in good standing is eligible to fill the Ombudsman seat. The current Ombudsman is: [[User:<Ombudsman>|<Ombudsman>]]
 
==Referenda==
Citizens may propose referenda for voting in the election. According to the Charter, referenda are proposed in one of two ways:
 
1. Any Citizen may petition either the Management Council or Editorial Council that contested rules or guidelines be submitted to a referendum. Either Council must have jurisdiction over the contested matter. Either Council may, by simple majority vote, submit the referendum to a vote of the citizenry at the next regular election.
 
2. A referendum may be initiated by a group of Citizens corresponding in size to 20 percent of the number of voters in the previous election. The Management Council must include a valid citizen-initiated referendum in the next regular election. Failure to do so will automatically pass the referendum which shall then become official policy and enforceable. This charter may not be amended by a failure of the Management Council to submit a referendum to a vote.  
 
'''To view the referenda being proposed, see the [[CZ:Election<date>/Referenda/text | referenda proposal text]]. To propose a referendum, follow the [[CZ:Election<date>/Referenda/text | referenda proposal instructions]].'''
 
As the last election had a valid poll of xxx (xxx) voters, a referendum proposed under #2 above requires the support of '''20% of xxx in words''' (20% of xxx as a number) Citizens in order to appear on the ballot.

* Begin accepting nominations and referenda on <date 1>;<br/>
