This page serves as a forum for editors to provide feedback on the December 2009 Arbitration Committee Elections, and ideas on how the process can be improved for the next election, in 2010. The 2009 elections departed in some ways from those of previous years, most notably in the introduction of the SecurePoll secret ballot.
