The CPM White Paper describes how the CPM operates, as well as the election process including candidate and voter eligibility. Anyone wanting to participate in the CPM process, whether by voting or standing as a candidate for the council is encouraged to read this document. The CPM White Paper can be found here.

I am interested in how the actual elections are going to take place. Is there any information that describes how players will get to vote for CPM? Any thoughts or information would be nice. Good luck to whomever runs.

VOTER ELIGIBILITY
In order to be eligible to vote, an active DUST 514 account must be at least ninety (90) days in age, and
must have had at least sixty (60) hours of playtime in the twelve (12) months before voting begins (to
the calendar day of the preceding year). Additionally, banned accounts and accounts belonging to CCP
employees are ineligible to vote. Volunteers, interns, affiliates and partners are permitted to vote.

ELECTION MECHANICS
Any eligible candidate may nominate themselves, subject to normal eligibility conditions.

Each account may cast a single vote for one or more candidates, up to a maximum of seven (7)
candidates. Each ballot thus consists of a list of one or more candidates, listed in order of preference. Ballots are anonymous, but ballot tallies (the count of each uniquely appearing list of candidates in
ballots) and the code used for the counting of the ballots are published to allow 3rd - party validation of
the results. To maximize participation, the polls will be open for a full two weeks. Once the polls have
closed, the results are determined using a Single Transferrable vote method (STV) to determine the 7
(seven) candidates who are elected onto the council.

Since my acct is less than 90 days old I'm not eligible.

EVEN THOUGH MY ONLINE TIME IS TEN TIMES THAT OF THE CURRENT CPMs

What a crock of ****.
