The rules

The non-partisan rules

1. No parties — ever. Draft To Run has no party field, collects no party affiliation, and shows none. Nominations talk about one thing: service to this community.

2. No attacks. Nominations or statements with partisan or attack language are held for human review and do not appear until a person clears them — and claimed-profile statements with that language are rejected outright.

3. No comments. There are deliberately no comment threads. You speak by nominating, endorsing, crewing, and sharing.

The endorsement rules

4. One per person, per nominee. One verified phone/email = one voter record = one endorsement for a given nominee. The database itself enforces it — clicking twice, or using two browsers, changes nothing. (Using two different contacts to double-endorse is against the spirit of the draft; obvious abuse is removed in moderation.)

5. Ten endorsements total. Each voter can endorse up to 10 different nominees. Endorse thoughtfully. You can un-endorse at any time to free a slot.

6. Nothing is for sale. Endorsements, badges, and leaderboard spots can never be bought. Advocates earn credit only when a real person endorses through their link.

People’s rights

7. Opt out instantly. Anyone nominated can remove their profile immediately from their page; a human reviews every opt-out.

8. Claim your page. A nominee (or their representative, via the claim form) can claim their page; after admin approval they control its photo and statement.

9. This is not an election. Draft To Run counts community endorsements on an unofficial platform. It is not a ballot, petition, poll, or filing, and being “drafted” creates no obligation to run.
