There is a painful lack of basic information to answer the simple question: how do we vote?

Evelopedia has a lengthy discussion of the CSM system, and even a detailed analysis of the voting patterns by nation and gender and god-knows-what-else. But nowhere is there any explanation of where to find the (multiple expletives deleted) ballot box.

No wonder you got only 12,000 people voting out of a quarter-million active accounts; nobody knows how.

Why is there not a sticky at the top of this and every other CSM-related forum with a step-by-step explanation of the idiot-proof variety telling just how we cast our votes for the CSM candidate of our choice?

Pardon me if I seem a bit incensed. I just blew a half hour of my play time responsibly looking in all the right places for an answer to this very basic question, and finding Sweet Fanny Adams.

When the elections go live you will get a pop-up on your log-in screen (you know... those things you normally ignore). If you click it you will be taken to a webpage where you can cast your votes.

You will also see a small news item on the character selection page on the right. It will say what is happening and provide the necessary links to vote.

How did you Veterans start?

Great! Thank you.

But that information still needs to be easily and readily available.
