+# Notary Node elections 2024
+
+See below for an overview of the currently active proposals for the 2024 Notary Node election.
+
+To participate in the elections, submit your proposal by the 14th of June 2024 (23:59:59 UTC) into this repository using a folder with your operator name containing a `README.md` file. Check the other proposals and those from previous elections for an example.
+
+Make sure to read the [Notary Node Election Bible](https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/dPoW/blob/dev/doc/bible.md) for more information about election rules and notary node duties.
+
+Each proposal must include:
+- The region(s) you are entering the elections to win. New candidates are limited to a single region, and incumbent notaries will be advised regarding additional eligibility based on previous season rankings.
+- A voting address for each region you will be running for election in
+- Your name and contact details (e.g. your discord username), and if running as part of a team or project, the name and contact details of other team members. 
+- Specifications of servers you will be using if you win a spot.
+- Two pubkeys which you will use to run your notary nodes in season 8. These must be securely generated and stored in a safe place!
+
+Optional, but recommended:
+- A short bio covering your skills/experience and any notable contributions you've made within the Komodo EcoSystem
+- Details of any funding allocations to projects your node will support if elected.
+
+Proposals missing the required info will not be merged until it is added, and may be rejected if not fixed prior to the deadline.
+
+**DO NOT UPDATE THIS FILE DIRECTLY. The Komodo Platform team reviewers will update this table upon approval of your proposal.**
