It is election time!

Please read the position requirements and the election timeline for further information. If you think you’ve got what it takes to be in an elected position, let us know!

Requirements to run for leader/officer

For leader, you need to have been in the Eagles for at least five months and have had experience as an officer in the Eagles within the last year.

For officer roles, you need to have been in the Eagles for at least three months.
And for both types of positions, you need to have energy and enthusiasm!

We do have a bunch of rules about behavior, time commitments, and responsibilities. They’ll be explained in a forum post within the next week. Please read them if you intend to run for any of the roles.

The schedule for elections is as follows (subject to alteration, but more or less):

Within the next week – Email/Forum Post outlining the roles up for election and the duties assigned to each.
January 13th-19th – Nomination Period Open. Nominate yourself or someone else!
January 21st – January 30th – Polls are open.
February 2nd – Inauguration Party at the Kinhouse

Campaigning via the forums can start on January 13th and continue throughout the voting period.

To see if you’re eligible to run for an open position, please ask Guivien or an officer. If you are nominated by someone else, you may decline that nomination.

The schedule milestones will be added to the calendar. And we will keep you updated via the forum at each stage.

If you have any questions, please contact officers@eaglesofthorondor.com or one of the officers in-game.
