How it works:

• Candidates may submit a link to a short Proof-of-Life video, or confirm they were a previous candidate in the 2025 CC election.

• Once checked, the PoL requirement is considered satisfied, even if no video link is provided.

• Consortium Exemption Rule: If 50% or more of a consortium’s members were candidates (solo or as part of a team) in the 2025 CC election, the consortium qualifies for an automatic PoL exemption. These members may check the exemption box when submitting.
