2023 Arbitration Committee Elections
Status as of 17:59 (UTC), Wednesday, 29 May 2024 (

- Thank you for participating in the 2023 Arbitration Committee Elections. The certified results have been posted.
- You are invited to leave feedback on the election process.
Clearer summary of implications
i wasnt aware until today that elected members become checkusers. Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee has no mention of this implication either. it's only implied by Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/CheckUser and Oversight ("While most current and some former arbitrators hold CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions") and some sentences after long passages on Wikipedia:CheckUser.
i always had the impression or assumption from real life that arbitrators are third-party members of the public (maybe like a jury or lay judges), and not members of law enforcement or judiciary. i thought they're users elected to exercise independent judgement of sysops' and checkusers' actions, but didnt know they would become the checkusers themselves.
you could probably do a survey to see how many voters are aware. i've already voted in 2021 and 2022 elections. i became aware because only by chance i noticed a user was checkuser but i had no memory of a checkuser election of that user, then i dug further to find out the appointment logs on meta.
all implications of successful election should be made more prominent and communicated to voters.--RZuo (talk) 07:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Archival of election material
all material that has been used in elections should be archived. i raised this concern previously https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)&oldid=1187066048#Why_can_election_material_be_deleted_after_elections%EF%BC%9F . you can see the result of deletion of election material, a red link in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:ACE2022&oldid=1124416539 . this is bad for scrutiny of election and detrimental to integrity of election.
