I wonder why elections take place on a different month each year.

Shouldn't they be held on a certain month of the year? So if I want to cast a vote next year I would be expecting it to be in that certain month.

  • Is there something wrong with my question because of the down votes? Please explain so I would know what not to. – Robin Carlo Catacutan Apr 29 '15 at 18:30

Moderator elections are not scheduled events; they are called when there is a need for new moderators.

As such, the fact that the last 3 elections have been roughly a year apart each time has been a coincidence.

    That's a helluva coincidence, though. – Makoto Apr 29 '15 at 18:00

    @Makoto: I guess that moderators are humans too and push for anniversaries before resigning. I'm sure I can make it to another whole year! – Martijn Pieters Apr 29 '15 at 18:02
  • Its a great responsibility though but also human feel good that "I am the admin of "SO"". – HaveNoDisplayName Apr 29 '15 at 18:05

    The real truth is that @Martijn informed someone at SO that he was ready to officially be a mod, so they started an election. :P – Carrie Kendall Apr 29 '15 at 18:11
