<p>Some general information about how elections work is here:</p>
<p><a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/135360/225179">There&#39;s an election going on. What&#39;s happening and how does it work?</a></p>
<p>As you say, it's unlikely we'll need the <em>primary</em> phase (we never have before).</p>
<p>Note that we currently need two moderators. It's possible, though, that should we find we need more before very long, the third-place candidate will be called up rather than our having a whole new election (so don't be put off standing because there are already two candidates you prefer to yourself for the job).</p>
