[edit]- Copied from Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous) § Preliminary results of the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections because this page is listed on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Subscribe.
Hello all,
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.
The following four candidates were the most voted:
While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.
Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.
Best regards,
The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group
