This page is an attempt to document the processes required of the WP:ACE Electoral Commission.


 * Early on, coordinate with WMF staff to ensure that the WP:SecurePoll service is available and configured.


 * Generate the list of eligible voters. This is currently done via a script which queries the user database and applies the eligibility rules per the most recent WP:ACERULES RFC.  If the rules have changed since the previous year, the script will need to be updated.  Currently,  knows the details.
 * Task: make sure this script is someplace safe (stored in git, for example) and the location is documented, along with instructions on how to run it.
 * The script is at User:Cyberpower678/ListGen.php


 * Once this list of eligible voters is created, this needs to get transmitted to WMF staff who will handle installing it into the SecurePoll system.


 * A to-do list of major milestones should be maintained, see latest example from Arbitration Committee Elections December 2023/Coordination
