+# Kubernetes Elections
+
+Welcome to the Kubernetes Elections area.  This directory defines the Elections
+Subproject, including its products of the annual [Steering Committee election]
+and elections-as-a-service for our community.  Elections is a subproject of
+the [Contributor Experience] SIG.
+
+## Steering Elections
+
+The Elections subproject is responsible for the annual [Steering Committee election],
+which is directly administered by the Election Officers.
+
+* If you are looking to vote in the steering election, go to the [elections app].
+* If you are looking for detailed information on the steering elections,
+  visit [Steering Committee election] page.
+
+## How to Request an Election for your SIG/WG
+
+All teams in Kubernetes may use our [elections app] to run preference elections
+for their team.  See the instructions on [requesting an election].
+
+## The Elections Subproject
+
+The Elections Subproject is a team within Kubernetes [SIG Contributor Experience]
+with the following responsibilities:
+
+* Maintain and update the elections documentation and messaging templates
+* Assist K8s-Infra team in maintaining the elections software and service
+* Assisting and approving SIGs/WGs in running minor elections
+* Recommending a slate of Election Officers for each Steering Election
+
+### Members
+
+Anyone can contribute to the elections subproject. In our [OWNERS file] you
+can find the list of our current approvers and reviewers.
+
+Approvers and reviewers are also responsible for the Elections roadmap, 
+maintenance, and security.  As such, new approvers must be approved by
+the [Contributor Experience] chairs or by the Steering Committee.
+
+### Communications
+
+The elections subproject can be reached by the following mechanisms:
+
+* tagging `/area elections` in issues or PRs in the Kubernetes/Community repo
+* #sig-contribex channel in Kubernetes slack
+* The regular [Contributor Experience] meeting
+
+### Documentation
+
+The subproject is responsible for making sure that all elections documentation
+is completed and kept up-to-date.  This includes:
+
+* Community documentation on the SC election
+* Election Officer documentation on how to run an SC election
+* Election messaging templates
+* Elekto documentation
+
+This documentation may include setting policy for some aspects of the Steering
+election.  In those cases, the subproject is responsible for getting the SC's
+approval on such items.
+
+### Software
+
+Elections in Kubernetes run on [Elekto].  The subproject is responsible for
+maintaining these by working together with [K8s-Infra] team.  This includes
+upgrades, migrations, assisting community members using the software, and handling
+security reports.  Should there be a reason to change software, the subproject
+will prepare recommendations for the Steering Committee to approve. It is also
+responsible for any necessary scripts, such as how to pull a voter list.
+
+### Recommending Election Officers
+
+The Elections Subproject will be responsible for finding and recommending 
+Election Officers to run the next Steering Committee election. The schedule 
+for that should be:
+
+* Early June: contact last year's EOs and determine who will be returning.
+* Mid-June: put out a call within SIG-Contribex to find out who is interested
+  in being an EO. Contact likely individuals 1-on-1
+* Early July: submit a recommended slate of EOs to the Steering Committee,
+  including alternates if possible.
+* Mid-July: SC approves the EOs.
+* Late July: EOs set the schedule for the election.
+
+Election Officers should be chosen from among regular, trusted contributors to the 
+Kubernetes project, with an eye towards employer, demographic, and geographic
+diversity.
+
+Election Officers are considered part of the Elections Subproject.
+
+### Minor Elections
+
+The subproject will assist Kubernetes teams/SIGs/WGs in preparing any internal
+elections they want to run.  This includes watching for election issues and PRs
+and either helping create the appropriate files or auditing them for the teams.
+The subproject will work with the Contributor Comms team to promote the elections
+as appropriate.
+
+Any named Kubernetes team (see [requesting an election]) may run an election 
+in elections.k8s.io.  Since Elekto allows running multiple elections 
+concurrently, the main limitation for running additional elections is the time 
+of Contribex volunteers assist with the process.
+
+### Other Responsibilities
+
+The subproject team will make a biweekly report to SIG-Contribex's regular
+meeting.

+# Elections for Kubernetes Teams
+
+As Kubernetes now has access to self-hosted preference election software,
+we can host any number of elections for community groups, as they need them.
+
+## Who Can Request an Election
+
+Any "Kubernetes team" can request an election.  This includes SIGs, Working Groups,
+User Groups, operational teams like Release Engineering or Enhancements, 
+Subprojects, and even wholly subsidiary projects like Prow and ClusterAPI.
+Basically, if your group is all Kubernetes contributors, you can ask for an
+election.
+
+This does not include CNCF projects that are not components of Kubernetes and
+subject to Kubernetes governance.  At some point, the CNCF may offer 
+elections-as-a-service for those other projects.
+
+## How It Works
+
+Kubernetes uses an election tool called [Elekto], an instance of which is 
+hosted at [elections.k8s.io].  Your team's election gets added as metadata
+to the kubernetes/community repository, and that automatically causes 
+an election to appear in the app. 
+
+You assign some of your team to be election administrators, and they are
+in charge of running the election.  You also assemble and supply a list
+of GithubIDs for valid voters in the election, and the dates that candidate
+statements are due, followed by when voting opens and closes.  Candidates
+join the election by publishing candidate profiles to your election directory.
+
+Depending on availability and the nature of your election, Contributor Comms 
+may help publicize your election and remind voters of deadlines. Otherwise,
+you will do this.
+
+Once voting has closed, one of your election administrators can calculate
+the result of the election, and publish it either through the app or directly
+to your team's channel or mailing list.
+
+## Requesting by Issue
+
+If you are not already familiar with [Elekto], you should request an election
+by filing an [election request issue].  Please fill out all of the information
+in the template; it's required for the election.
+
+A member of the Elections Subproject will contact you and help you through
+setting up the election metadata.  Please allow at least a week before your election
+needs to start.
+
+## Requesting by Pull Request
+
+If you are familiar with [Elekto] from prior elections, then you may create
+your own metadata files and submit your election as a pull request, which 
+will make it happen faster.
+
+Each team election goes in its own folder in the kubernetes/community repo,
+using the path `elections/teams/team-name/election-name`, 
+e.g. `elections/teams/clusterapi/leads-2022`.  This folder should then have
+the following files in it, with complete contents.  See the 
+[Elekto administration docs] for more details.
+
+* election.yaml file defining the election
+* election-desc.md file with a text description of the election
+* voters.yaml with the initial list of voters
+
+The easiest path is to copy these files from another election and then 
+modify them. The above will require you to have already decided your list of 
+Election Admins and the dates for your election.
+
+A member of the Elections Subproject will then review your PR, offer any required
+data corrections, and approve it.
+
+## Additional Notes
+
+* Candidates do not have to be people; sometimes you may want to run an
+  "election" between development alternatives or graphic design options.
+  However, consider doing a survey for those instead.
+* Voters and Admins do not have to be Kubernetes Org Members.  
+  They do have to have GitHub IDs.
