It should have been posted earlier, however, no one thought about it. We missed the most exciting part of almost every election- the questionnaire phase. Usually members post one or more questions; the best ones are curated; and nominees post answers/responses to those questions.

Questions to the community:

1. Thoughts?
2. Can we have a questionnaire round in parallel with the decided dates or in other words without changing the decided date? Let's say, we post questions within the next two days, one of us would curate the best questions (let's limit to 5 or 6), and post those in a separate meta post by Friday morning (IST). 


Questions to the candidates:

1. Thoughts on questionnaire round?
2. Would you guys be able to respond to the questions Friday onwards? It's best to answer before the start of the elections. But it's not a problem to answer later as well. Sooner the better, though!

Please note, 
1. we can't delay the election.
2. This questionnaire round would be applicable only in case of two or more candidates. As of writing this, only one candidate has nominated himself.
