+## Purpose
+
+The role of this election is to fill out the three (3) seats open for election
+this year on the [Kubernetes Code of Conduct Committee]. Each elected
+member will serve a two (2) year term.
+
+*In an effort to deconflict between Steering and Code of Conduct Committee
+election timing and provide new Steering Committee members sufficient time to
+onboard (3+ months), the Steering Committee has made the decision to move the
+Code of Conduct Committee elections to follow the 2024 Steering elections,
+instead of preceding them.*
+
+## Election Platform
+
+We will be using [Elekto] to conduct the election. Elekto relies entirely on GitHub OAuth for
+voting, and as such does not use email at all. Elekto also handles exceptions,
+eligibility checks, and other aspects of the election. See the [Elekto voting documentation]
+for how to use it.
+
+## Eligibility
+
+- Candidate commits to putting the interests of the community above the interests of their employer for all Code of Conduct Committee activities.
+- Is generally a responsible human
+- Does not have to be part of the Kubernetes or CNCF community
+- Characteristics which would be nice in any nominations:
+  - Previous experience on an Ethics Committee or Code of Conduct Committee is appreciated
+  - Has demonstrated integrity, professionalism, and positive influence within the community is appreciated
+  - Experience with the tools which we use to communicate (Zoom, Slack, GitHub, etc.) within the Kubernetes community is appreciated
+
+### Schedule
+
+| Date | Event |
+| --- | --- |
+| Monday, December 2 | Nominations Open |
+| Friday, January 31 | Nominations Close |
+| Monday, February 3 | Steering to confirm candidacy |
+| Monday, February 10 | Election Begins |
+| Monday, February 17 | Election Closes |
+| Tuesday, February 18 | Announcement of results |
+| Thursday, February 20 | CoCC to hold onboarding sessions for new members |
+
+Candidate nomination, bio, and election close deadlines will be done using Anywhere on Earth timing, meaning it is still valid to submit new nominations/bios/votes as long as it is still the last day anywhere on the planet (i.e. at the end of that day in UTC-12).
+
+## Candidacy Process
+
+Candidate nominations were accepted through a [Google Form] open during the above stated [nomination period](#schedule).
+
+For more details about the candidacy and the voting process, see the [CoCC Election Charter].
