**Background**
An enwiki RFC recently achieved consensus for one trial "admin election" using SecurePoll software. This will be enwiki's first time hosting an admin election on SecurePoll software. @Novem_Linguae is currently the primary person planning out election details. Novem Linguae has communicated with Tom Paine in Trust & Safety ticket 76312 and received an entry in the SecurePoll calendar for this. T&S help with facilitating this one-time election would be greatly appreciated.

> Oct 25 - Thu Oct 31 seems okay to me. I actually grabbed a slot for this in the Securepoll calendar right after you followed up but forgot to update you. Please feel free to open a ticket on phabricator ticket to coordinate better
