+Well, the contract we were obliged to sign says that we must have an Election in December, so here it is!
+==What is This?==
+*This is an election to decide the new director of The 'Shroom. Naturally, the one with the most votes wins the title.
+*If a director retires, then an election is held again in the latest issue of The 'Shroom.
+*An election takes place every December Issue regardless whether an election has already been held that year.
+*The current director may run in elections if they wish.
+*This election will start December 9th.
+*Unlike last year, there will be a January issue, so in the date of the January issue (Thursday 7th, 18:00 EDT) the winner will be announced, and he or she will have at most a week to announce his Core Staff in the comments section at the bottom of the page
+<center><span style="font-size:150%">It is currently '''{{LOCALTIME}}, {{LOCALMONTHNAME}} {{LOCALDAY}} (EST/EDT)'''</span></center><br>
+<center><span style="font-size:150%">This election ends '''16.00, January 7th (EST/EDT)'''</span></center>
+:'''Candidate Rules'''
+*Anyone may run for director during any time of the election (except in Overtime), but they ''must have a forum account''.
+*''Only a user may run for himself or herself, another user cannot nominate him or her.''
+*All candidates must say what changes will they make. They can also campaign to promote voting for them.
+**Campaigns must use acceptional grammar (judgment is given to the Core Staff).
+**Campaigns must be original. Nobody is allowed to steal one another's ideas. However, if campaigns, for the most part, differ from each other or have key elements to which the candidates disagree on, then sharing a few ideas here and there is allowed.
+**No joke campaigns are allowed to be ran.
+**No bribing voters is allowed.
+*Candidates can also hold debates among them in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
+*This is what a voting section should look like:
+ <nowiki>===Candidate===
+What will you do, etc.
+ #'''X'''
+ #'''X'''
+ #'''X'''</nowiki>
+So as you can see, that candidate has three votes.
+:'''Voter Rules'''
+*Voters may vote with their username, no signatures allowed, or they leave an "anonymous" vote (<nowiki>'''X'''</nowiki>). Note that people may see who voted anonymously when viewing the page history.
+*Voters '''may only vote for one person'''.
+*Voters ''may change their votes at any time while the election is in progress''.
+*Voters do not put down a reason when they vote for someone, they simply sign.
+:'''Ties'''
+*If there is a tie, then the vote goes into '''Overtime'''. During Overtime, only the tied finalists remain in the election, with all the other candidates being crossed out .
+*The election is in Overtime for  a week until it finally ends.
+*During Overtime, no new candidates are allowed.
+*Users who voted for defeated candidates can now vote for the remaining candidates. This also applies to the candidates, just as long as their previous candidate was eliminated and they do not vote for themselves.
+*If a tie continues, then the finalists go into overtime again and again until it ends. Only the tied contestants with the most votes advance to the new Overtime (example: There are three finalists, but two are tied for the win. The two tied contestants go on to another Overtime while the third candidate is eliminated).
+:'''Duties of the Director'''
+This is what you must do if you win, so read carefully.
+*The director must accept or decline all new writers' ideas for sections they want to write.
+*The director assigns a section to users who want to write, but don't know what to write.
+*The director gives out [[Template:Shroomwarning|a warning]] to users who have not yet sent in their sections one week before The 'Shroom is due.
+*The director puts The 'Shroom together, and edits [[MarioWiki:The 'Shroom|the front page]], [[MarioWiki:The 'Shroom/Single|the single page]], and [[Template:'Shroombox|the 'Shroombox template]].
+*The director writes the Director's Notes section, which comments about the month's issue.
+*The director includes the due date of the next 'Shroom in the Director's Notes, and in the [[Template:Shroomwarning|Shroomwarning template]].
+*The director gets to choose his Core Staff, this is, Fake News, Fun Stuff, Music & Art, Pipe Plaza directors and Sub-Director (Though it is recommended that the runner-up is chosen as sub-director). The director does not get to choose the Editor in Chief.
+Looks easy? It is not. So get ready.
+Now get out there and go!
