There are three roles that are elected, rather than assigned. Those roles are Secretary, Facilitator, and Circle Rep.


Note: All core circle members are eligible for election and each may hold multiple elected roles, except for the Circle Lead of a circle, who may not be elected as its Facilitator or Circle Rep.


Elections can be held before or during Governance meetings. For a complete walk-through of the election process see this article: Election Process 101: Election Process Walk-through.



Each election will be for a fixed term, announced by the Facilitator (when there is already one) at the beginning of the process.

          2/ Enter the elected candidate's name in the corresponding field and the term limit:




        3/ Accept the proposal and close the meeting. The role will now show in the Roles section.
