There are so many 2024 administrator election candidates now (36 candidates as of October 15) that it may make sense to create some user subpages analyzing the candidates in a bit more depth (also known as "voter guides"). I'm going to keep this page factual, using criteria that I think RFA candidates are often evaluated on.
Keep in mind that even if a candidate fails one of these criteria, administrator elections are a chance for voters to lower their standards, if they think that type of RFA reform is healthy. Be the change that you want to see.
