– The date the proxy is signed
– Who the proxy is giving the voting powers to and from
– Who the Staff Collective member is voting for (or the Staff Collective member can allow the proxy holder to choose who to vote for).
Who can run for editor?
Candidates for the position of editor(s) must be members of the Staff Collective at the time of the election. Two Staff Collective members may choose to run as co-editors. They must have been running together to fill the positions of co-editors together.

Anyone who is a member of the Staff Collective at the time of the election.
Deadlines:
The deadline for nominations for editors is Monday, March 17 at noon. All sets of editorial candidates must submit a position platform (800 word limit) and photograph.
