Telcoin: Council Member Nomination Guide
The very first Telcoin elections are almost upon us! These are a major milestone in Telcoin’s journey, and symbolise an incredible opportunity for members of the Telcoin community to play an active role in maintaining and developing the Telcoin ecosystem. The following is a guide on nominating yourself to run for a council position.
Election Process
The elections will follow a simple sequential process:
- December 28th, 2023 - September 3rd, 2024: Nominee application submission. Each community member wishing to run for a position representing their chosen miner group within a chosen council submits an application on the Telcoin forum. This step is described in detail below.
- September 4th - September 11th: Voting. Community members will vote for candidates using Snapshot. Voters can change their votes during this time, but all votes are final when the voting period ends.
- September 11th at 4:00 PM: Results. Voting will close and results will be immediately available.
- September 11th - October 10th: Council ID Verification. Nominated applicants will be required to complete KYC.
The current priority for Telcoin community members is the nomination application submission. The following guide is designed to aid people in submitting their applications. We invite all Telcoin community members to submit an application.
Nomination Instructions
-
Familiarise yourself with the Miner Groups, considering which group you most fit into, and Miner Councils, including their roles and responsibilities.
-
Decide, based on your attributes, skills, experience and interests, which miner group you would most like to represent and which council you would like to join.
- Note: The number of members shows the open positions for the specific Miner Group on the corresponding Miner Council.

Find your specific forum from the links in the table below, clicking the link at the intersection between your preferred miner group and preferred council.
- For example, liquidity miners interested in running for the TELx Council should select “3 Members” in the table below.
