+`Leadership Elections - candidacy time`
+
+
+<@&{clan_council_elect_role_id}>, welcome. We are starting the second part of our elections.  On {highcouncil_election_announce} this channel will be open to write for all of you. Everyone else will be able to read this channel, but not write in it. Only members of the  Clan Council Elected (CCE) can vote now. Any votes from others will be annulled.
+
+From {highcouncil_election_announce} to {highcouncil_election_start}, you will be able to announce your candidacy for High Council. The positions are:
+ Clan Leader
+ Discord Server Manager
+
+Each member of the CCE can cast one for each category by using the emotes:  <:Rank_Owner:479008325137072155>  for Clan Leader and <:Rank_Deputy:479008295319896064>  for Discord Server Manager.
+If needed, the icon 🤷 can be used to abstain to vote in any or both categories and it should be apply to all candidates of that category.
+
+Votes can be cast until the {highcouncil_election_end}, so we can announce and have everyone set up to start the term by {term_start}
