I think so, and my worry is that the election has officially started yesterday already..
 
Can the board or the Election Committee double check that the approval process is running? Some friends and I have not received an  answer and we applied several days ago. Also I met someone who claims that it's been 3 weeks now since he's applied. 
 
As I said to someone in the Telegram group, I don't think opensuse needs to have people telling reddit, youtube and podcasts how funny the elections would be, with applications stuck for month and only "send an email / raise an issue / ask someone else " solutions.
 
Sorry English is not my mother tongue.
 
Thank you for an answer!
