Hello everyone,

I’m Naomi, a Program Manager supporting Jupyter. We’re looking forward to opening the election for the 2026 Project Jupyter Executive Council members in the coming week and wanted to inform you of a slight change to how voting will be conducted.

In the past, according to the project’s governance, voting has taken place via a GitHub repository using the Apache STeVe script. Now that the Linux Foundation is managing project elections, we’ll be updating the process to use OpaVote, a secure online voting platform. The election will still use the Meek Single Transferable Vote (STV) method; this is simply a change in platform, not process.

This is the same system I use successfully across other LF projects with multi-winner elections. The only other change is that I will now manage the election logistics, rather than a current EC member.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out by Friday, October 24.

Thank you all for your time and participation.

Best,

Naomi
