+#{{User|Crocodile Dippy}} ~ I've worked directly with Packy, so I know he can be trusted. '''However''', my vote is only on the condition that Packy includes {{User|Andymii}} on his committee; kid's got potential and a good attitude, and I want to see him get more hands-on experience.
+#{{User|Super Mario Bros.}} &ndash; Per Dippy. Packy is an outstanding member of the community, has great administrative experience, and works on his projects to the best of his ability. He can definitely oversee the committee's operations and improve how it works. Andymii is also an excellent person, is proving himself to be a responsible and caring individual, and I think he would do great on the committee in some form. Best wishes for the upcoming year!
+===Andymii===
+Oh, dear; I am running against my ‘Shroom boss. I hope I don’t get fired. Hmm.
+Okay, but in all seriousness, hello there! The name’s Andymii, and this is a momentous time for me. Just one-and-a-half years ago, I made the great decision to finally register on the wiki. When I joined, I started to just make minor edits without getting noticed much by the community. But as time went on, I realized I could do a lot more, and became active in a lot more ways: making and voting in proposals, taking part in discussions in talk pages, writing for the ‘Shroom, joining the forum, all in all with 1,600 edits and counting within this short time period. It quickly became my dream to reach such a position such as Poll Chairperson one day, creating exciting new polls on the front page; now I’m extremely proud to be you candidate.
+Now, why Poll Chairperson? More so, why would I make a viable candidate? I believe the function of polls is beyond a simple survey- it’s something that I personally look forward to whenever a new one comes out. The current Poll Committee has done a particularly good job in keeping the polls particularly enjoyable, albeit a little predictable.
+I’ve always been told that my strengths are creativity and leadership, and with my experience here on the MarioWiki, this exactly fits the qualities of a great Poll Committee leader. I believe that I am capable of leading a team that can easily match (or possibly outdo!) last year’s committee with polls that focus on recent happenings, polls that are maybe a little retro, and best of all, polls that tackle great debates with hopefully very close scores. Who knows? Maybe we could even fine tune our polls to be to most exciting for everyone by giving out surveys every once in a while so we can find out what the people like to vote about.
+Teamwork-wise, I already have a plan: the more creative of us can collaborate and make a truly interesting poll, while the more technical of us can put it onto PollDaddy and onto the front page (which is more complicated than it looks, apparently). That way, everyone has a major job, and we all work together well.
+I know I am the underdog in this competition, but as Chairperson of the Poll Committee, it would truly be my undertaking to, with the team, to make this important piece of the front page the best it can be. I would like to thank you for reading this, and please consider me to be your 2015-2016 candidate for this job. That said, good luck to all the candidates, and may the best candidate win!

 ==Election Comments==
+I would have nominated myself but considering that my personal to-do list is going to explode at any rate, adding poll maintenance and poll committee overview to my worklist would stress me out further. I'd feel another person would do the job much better than I can at the moment. The committee is pretty low-maintenance though, it's pretty easy to know how it works and if you have any questions you can feel free to ask Mario4Ever or any of the various veteran/current poll committee members such as me. I think you'd make a good chairperson, so here's my vote. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 01:53, 21 June 2015 (EDT)
