Python steering-council election chart

The Python Steering Council election is on!

This year six candidates are running for the five seats. See PEP 8107 for links to their nomination statements and PEP 13 for more on Python language governance.

I made a chart to show when the nominations arrived during the nomination period: six is fewer than in previous years, but they didn’t all wait until the last three days like in 2023 and 2024.

This year we’re also using a new voting system: with “Multi-winner Bloc STAR” you give between 0-6 stars per candidate.

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