Battlefield Wiki:Voting Policy

This policy establishes the rules for participating in votes on this site, and how votes should be run.

Votes are common, especially for choosing featured content and electing admins. But they are also used on the forums to vote on proposals for the site.

Voter Requirements
To vote you must meet the following criteria (unless stated otherwise at the place of the vote):

 * Have been active for over 1 month

All votes last for 1 week unless stated otherwise at the place of the vote.

Upon completion, all votes and related discussions should be archived in situ or somewhere appropriate for record keeping purposes (BF:DDD). These should then not be altered.
