What are squadron elections and when are they held?
Every year, both squadrons aboard the Callisto hold elections from their own members as to who will be the Squadron Leader for the following year. Terms last one year and there are no term limits. The week before the election, a list is published as to who is eligible to run for Squadron Leader. Every member from that squadron may make one nomination from those eligible. Members may nominate themselves. The day before the election, the list of nominees is posted to the Bboard and then members from the squadron vote for their candidate. The Warrior receiving the most votes is elected the new Squadron Leader for the following year. Terms begin immediately after the announcement. Gold Squadron holds their election on the anniversary of its founding on November 10th of each year. Black Squadron holds their election on the anniversary of its founding on May 10th of each year. The elected leader will be commissioned with the rank of Major.
