+Elected Positions
+=================
+Under the rules of the UC charter, we need to elect 2 UC seats for this
+election. Seats are valid for one-year term. User Committee member - 2
+positions.
+
+Electorate
+==========
+The electorate for this election are the Foundation individual members that
+are also Active User Contributors (AUC) over the last six months.
+The electorate is requested to confirm their email address and (if applicable) IRC handle
+in their Foundation Member Profile, https://openstack.org/profile ,
+prior to August 16, 2019 05:59 UTC so that the emailed ballots are mailed to the
+correct email address.
+
+Candidates
+==========
+Any individual member of the Foundation who is an Active User Contributor
+(AUC) can propose their candidacy (except the three sitting UC members elected in
+the previous election).
+
+Self-nomination is common, no third party nomination is required. They do so by
+sending an email to the user-committee@lists.openstack.org mailing-list, with
+the subject: "UC candidacy" by August 16, 05:59 UTC. The email can include a
+description of the candidate platform. The candidacy is then confirmed by
+one of the election officials, after verification of the electorate status of
+the candidate.
