= One-off “Single 6-month term” in Spring 2019 Elections =
In these Spring 2019 elections we will have 5 spots open. 4 spots are for a 12-months term, 1 spot is for a 6-month term. With this we can balance out our current 5/2 open spots at elections to a more balanced 4/3 split. The reasons for desiring balanced leadership replenishment include: High level of leadership continuity and a fair distribution of workload for projects spanning across a Council members end of term.
In Sprint 2019, the Council Candidate with the 5th-most votes will be taking on the 6-months term, the others will have a normal 12-months term. The Rep serving on Council for 6 months can re-nominate themselves for the Autumn 2019 elections for a 12 month term.

During the Spring 2020 Council Elections we will experiment with running a full-day chat-based Ask-me-anything. You can find more information on [https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/council-elections-chat-instead-of-video-town-hall/55564/7 Discourse].


During the Campaign period there are 2 Town Halls being held. Candidates should attend at least one of these. They are around 6 hours apart to cover as many timezones as possible, but we are aware that we can not cover *all* timezones. Therefore questions can be submitted beforehand and the calls will be recorded/streamed on Air Mozilla.
