The Python Steering Council election is on!

https://hugovk.dev/blog/2025/steering-council-election/

This year we have six candidates for five seats.

This chart shows when the nominations arrived: six is fewer than previous years but they didn't all wait until the last three days.

This year we're also using a new "Multi-winner Bloc STAR" voting system: you give between 0-5 stars per candidate.

If you're in the core team, remember to vote by Friday!
