This week, the Signpost covers the opening of this year's Board elections.
The Wikimedia Board Elections opened on Thursday, and run through Saturday, July 7, at 23:59 UTC. About 2,300 ballots had been cast (or about 2,000 unique votes) as of press time, with over half of those votes being cast on the first day of voting. It is anticipated that results will be announced within a few days of the closure of voting.
The Signpost election guide is still available; the questions and answers can be found here. About half of the candidates have responded to the questions so far.
Balloting is being held on the secure server of Software in the Public Interest, a non-profit organization known for its relationship with the open source community. According to a post on SPI's website, SPI Vice-President Michael Schultheiss will tally the votes.
Next week: Closure of the elections; results may or may not have been announced at this time.
