Website helps get EVE players to the polls
Dock those ships and prepare for a truly extraordinary event! The Council of Stellar Management election in the EVE universe is fast approaching, with voting being held on the 5th of May for those players with active accounts. The call for candidates has already ended and candidates are hitting the campaign trail in an ongoing effort to win a seat on the council. The elected representatives, selected from the player base, will have a great deal of influence in the design and daily operation of the EVE universe.
In case you were mining asteroids and were unable to follow the events as they unfolded, a CSM information website devoted to helping you choose the right candidates has been created for your viewing pleasure. Players or curious onlookers can find links to candidates websites, manifestos, and some background information provided by CCP on the history of the CSM. The official documents linked by the site describe CCPs outlook on governing MMOs and their communities. The website provides a very interesting glimpse into a concept that will give players a unique opportunity to shape the world they enjoy.
