Will there be further moderator elections?

Question

I know SE sites' community moderators are elected by the community. The last and only election on GameDev was in 2011.

Do these elections happen periodically or just that once?

Answer 1

From my understanding if there's pressure to add another moderator, or an existing moderator steps down, then they'll have an election.

I don't think existing moderators have to re-nominate themselves, it's purely an additive basis.

Do you feel we need another election?

Answer 2

I think they only happen when they need to happen, generally at most once per year; so far there's been no need for another one.
