+Well, the contract we were obliged to sign says that we must have an Election in December, so here it is!
+==What is This?==
+*This is an election to decide the new director of The 'Shroom. Naturally, the one with the most votes wins the title.
+*If a director retires, then an election is held again in the latest issue of The 'Shroom.
+*An election takes place every December Issue regardless whether an election has already been held that year.
+*The current director may run in elections if they wish.
+*This election will start December 9th.
+*Unlike last year, there will be a January issue, so in the date of the January issue (Thursday 7th, 18:00 EDT) the winner will be announced, and he or she will have at most a week to announce his Core Staff in the comments section at the bottom of the page
+<center><span style="font-size:150%">It is currently '''{{LOCALTIME}}, {{LOCALMONTHNAME}} {{LOCALDAY}} (EST/EDT)'''</span></center><br>
+<center><span style="font-size:150%">This election ends '''16.00, January 7th (EST/EDT)'''</span></center>
+:'''Candidate Rules'''
+*Anyone may run for director during any time of the election (except in Overtime), but they ''must have a forum account''.
+*''Only a user may run for himself or herself, another user cannot nominate him or her.''
+*All candidates must say what changes will they make. They can also campaign to promote voting for them.
+**Campaigns must use acceptional grammar (judgment is given to the Core Staff).
+**Campaigns must be original. Nobody is allowed to steal one another's ideas. However, if campaigns, for the most part, differ from each other or have key elements to which the candidates disagree on, then sharing a few ideas here and there is allowed.
+**No joke campaigns are allowed to be ran.
+**No bribing voters is allowed.
+*Candidates can also hold debates among them in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
+*This is what a voting section should look like:
+ <nowiki>===Candidate===
+What will you do, etc.
+ #'''X'''
+ #'''X'''
+ #'''X'''</nowiki>
+So as you can see, that candidate has three votes.
+:'''Voter Rules'''
+*Voters may vote with their username, no signatures allowed, or they leave an "anonymous" vote (<nowiki>'''X'''</nowiki>). Note that people may see who voted anonymously when viewing the page history.
+*Voters '''may only vote for one person'''.
+*Voters ''may change their votes at any time while the election is in progress''.
+*Voters do not put down a reason when they vote for someone, they simply sign.
+:'''Ties'''
+*If there is a tie, then the vote goes into '''Overtime'''. During Overtime, only the tied finalists remain in the election, with all the other candidates being crossed out .
+*The election is in Overtime for  a week until it finally ends.
+*During Overtime, no new candidates are allowed.
+*Users who voted for defeated candidates can now vote for the remaining candidates. This also applies to the candidates, just as long as their previous candidate was eliminated and they do not vote for themselves.
+*If a tie continues, then the finalists go into overtime again and again until it ends. Only the tied contestants with the most votes advance to the new Overtime (example: There are three finalists, but two are tied for the win. The two tied contestants go on to another Overtime while the third candidate is eliminated).
+:'''Duties of the Director'''
+This is what you must do if you win, so read carefully.
+*The director must accept or decline all new writers' ideas for sections they want to write.
+*The director assigns a section to users who want to write, but don't know what to write.
+*The director gives out [[Template:Shroomwarning|a warning]] to users who have not yet sent in their sections one week before The 'Shroom is due.
+*The director puts The 'Shroom together, and edits [[MarioWiki:The 'Shroom|the front page]], [[MarioWiki:The 'Shroom/Single|the single page]], and [[Template:'Shroombox|the 'Shroombox template]].
+*The director writes the Director's Notes section, which comments about the month's issue.
+*The director includes the due date of the next 'Shroom in the Director's Notes, and in the [[Template:Shroomwarning|Shroomwarning template]].
+*The director gets to choose his Core Staff, this is, Fake News, Fun Stuff, Music & Art, Pipe Plaza directors and Sub-Director (Though it is recommended that the runner-up is chosen as sub-director). The director does not get to choose the Editor in Chief.
+Looks easy? It is not. So get ready.
+Now get out there and go!

 *Rules
 **I will try to make the rules as fair as they can get. Yet again, I will be open to any suggestions or comments regarding the addition and subtraction of our rules, and will do my best to enforce them. I will not be a pushover, though, and will stick to my guns if I know that a suggestion or comment is detrimental to the quality, upkeep, or handling of The 'Shroom.
+**I will interview those who want to sign up in order to preserve quality, but I will also do my best to be strict and fair as opposed to being a tyrant. I will also come to some users requesting special sections to include a more broad aspect to The 'Shroom.
 *Changes
 **As noted above, I will try to make The 'Shroom more friendly towards users while maintaining a high quality and official presentation. We want to look good and appeal to as many audiences as we can.

+Okay guys, I think our first debate went rather well (although it could have gone better). [[MarioWiki:The 'Shroom/XXXIII/Director Election/Debate I|Here is a view]] of the debate that went on in #mwshroom, with only things such as spam and the kicking of spammers being edited out for your convinience. The Core Staff is planning another debate in the same exact location, tenatively for Wednesday, 23 December 2009 at 8:00<sub>PM</sub> (this is subject to change, so be on the look). We will try to fix any problems that occurred in the first debate so that the second one will run smoother next time.
+:Thank you to those who participated and contributed, your efforts have helped us decide to have more debates and have urged all of us campaigners to work harder! Until next time,
+::{{User:Super Mario Bros./sig}} 22:47, 16 December 2009 (EST)
+It seems PRI is going to win, followed closely by Peje XD {{User|Supermariofan14}}
+:D: At least Dr Simi is out XP {{user|Tucayo}}
+I vote for Tucayo because he's a nice guy and has creativity {{User|THW}}
+:Okay guys, the election is over (at least in my time zone). The final amount of votes is:
+*Stooben Rooben: 21 votes
+*Super Mario Bros.: 14 votes

+WEird... I tried to post from my cellphone, but apparently I didn't... Well, anyways.. This is over. I want to thank everyone who voted. Thanks. And I wanna congratulate SMB and STooby for the great work they did in the election. So, by the power granted upon me as 'Shroom director, I hereby name Stooby (21 votes) as the 2010 Director of The 'Shroom. Congrats and good luck! This is all for me, BYE and thanks! {{user|Tucayo}}
+:Woo, I'm so psyched! Thanks for all your support, guys! And kudos to Tucayo and SMB for doing such a good job with the election as a whole. =) I'll make an announcement tomorrow, since my time tonight's gonna be cut short tonight. {{User|Stooben Rooben}}
+::Alright, I've decided that the Core Staff will remain the same. The only thing that will change is the Editor in Chief; the Core Staff is currently working on finding a good EiC, so no worries there. Cheers. -- {{User|Stooben Rooben}}
