I'm a moderator on Stack Overflow на Русском (Stack Overflow in Russian). Currently there is new election. And suddenly I can join it.
I think, an active moderator shouldn't be able to join election.

5Not sure this is a bug: pro-tem moderators would have to nominate in an election if they want to be re-elected when the site 'graduates' or loses it's beta label. May just be easier to not block any moderators from running ;-)– Tinkeringbell ModAug 27, 2020 at 10:10

@Suvitruf-AndreiApanasik Hmm well, what if a (especially a newer) moderator wants to have a confirmation from the sites community? On the other hand I agree, they cannot win or loose their mod privilege from that election.– πάντα ῥεῖAug 27, 2020 at 10:11

2Does this answer your question? Elected moderators can nominate themselves, along with that exact dupe (and it's dupe) there are other considerations (why they should be on the ballot): meta.stackexchange.com/q/136944/282094 meta.stackexchange.com/q/221966/282094 meta.stackexchange.com/q/301344/282094– RobAug 27, 2020 at 12:56
