These are the candidates for the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections on the English Wikipedia. From 22, only 11 can be voted in. The amount of arbitrators is typically 15. There are 8 currently but 4 of them are outgoing due to the expiry of their membership on December 31, 2019. Therefore there are 11 seats to be won from the elections.


 * 1) Hawkeye7

 * 12) *Not familiar with. Seen them around and has had positive interactions so I have good impression.

 * 17) Thryduulf
 * 18) *Has demonstrated incompetence in several areas.
