The January 2006 Arbitration Committee elections began at 00:01 UTC on January 9. The vote is taking place at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Vote; anyone registered on or before September 30, 2005 with 150 total edits at that time is granted suffrage. A voter may either support, oppose, or abstain from voting for a candidate. A minimum of 50% support is required in order to be eligible for a position; Jimbo Wales will pick from the candidates with the most support to fill the committee. With 27 new candidates joining the race since last Monday (see related story), there are a total of 68 candidates.
