Hello everyone,
as specified in the previous thread (https://groups.google.com/g/php-fig/c/9Xeon2rP4SE), yesterday the nominations ended, and since today it's possible to vote for the renewal of the terms that are up for this elections.

We have 5 spots on the Core Committee up for reelection, four with a full two year term and a shorter one, that will end in August 2021, due to Beau Simensen stepping down; we also have one full-term spot for secretary.

Since we have only one unopposed nomination for the secretary election, we will need to vote for the Core Committee positions only, for which we have five nominations (listed in chronological order of nomination):

 - Larry Garfield
 - Matthew Weier O'Phinney
 - Michelle Sanver
 - Alessandro Chitolina
 - Woody Gilk

Full information about the Core Committee vote and role is visible in the bylaws here: https://www.php-fig.org/bylaws/mission-and-structure/#the-core-committee

Who can vote?
As specified in the bylaws, any Project Representative or any participant in the PHP-FIG ML can vote on the CC elections. A ML participant is defined in the bylaws as follows:
"Any individual that has posted a non-trivial message in the official FIG venue (mailing list, forum, etc.) at least five (5) times within the past calendar year as of the start of nominations [...] is eligible to vote on Core Committee candidates."

 When can you vote?
Voting will be open in this thread until June 24th 23:59 UTC.

How to vote
The voting system used is STV[1][2], so basically, there is no tactical voting possible (like with FPTP); vote for who you want, even if they are a less popular candidates as your vote will move down to a different candidate if you back an unpopular candidate who doesn't have enough votes; if a candidate is elected, their surplus votes are also re-allocated so you are not punished for backing popular candidates either. There is no quorum, you are of course entitled to not vote and it will not count as a missed vote on the voting sheet. Rank the candidates in order of preference for example:

1. Luke
2. Leia
3. Anakin
4. Rey
5. Padmé
6. Finn

At the end of the voting phase I will be announcing the results, and all the newly elected (both CC members and secretary), as announced before. Vote ordering will be also used to assign the terms, so the last of the elected will take the shorter one. 

Thanks!

Alessandro Lai
PHP-FIG Secretary

Voting is closed as of last midnight UTC!
I've used OpenSTV to compute the outcome, putting only 4 seats. The last one will take the shortest term.

Here's the election outcome:

Counting votes for PHP-FIG CC June 2021 elections using ERS97 STV.
5 candidates running for 4 seats.

 R|Larry Garfi|Matthew Wei|Michelle Sa|Alessandro |Woody Gilk |Exhausted  |Surplus    |Threshold  
  |eld        |er O'Phinne|nver       |Chitolina  |           |           |           |           
  |           |y          |           |           |           |           |           |           
==================================================================================================
 1|       5.00|       2.00|       4.00|       1.00|       0.00|       0.00|       4.20|       2.40
  |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  | Count of first choices. The initial quota is 2.40. Candidates Larry Garfield and Michelle
  | Sanver have reached the threshold and are elected. Candidates have surplus votes so surplus
  | votes will be transferred for the next round.
==================================================================================================
 2|       2.40|       4.08|       4.00|       1.52|       0.00|       0.00|       3.28|       2.40
  |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  | Count after transferring surplus votes from Larry Garfield. Candidate Matthew Weier O'Phinney
  | has reached the threshold and is elected. Candidates have surplus votes so surplus votes will
  | be transferred for the next round.
==================================================================================================
 3|       2.40|       2.40|       4.00|       2.78|       0.42|       0.00|       1.98|       2.40
  |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  | Count after transferring surplus votes from Matthew Weier O'Phinney. Candidate Alessandro
  | Chitolina has reached the threshold and is elected.

The resulting order is then:
 - Larry Garfield
 - Matthew Weier O'Phinney
 - Michelle Sanver
 - Alessandro Chitolina
 - Woody Gilk

Also, we have an uncontested election as secretary for Vincent de Lau!

Congratulations to all, I'll update the site, permission and other stuff ASAP!
