[2023] When will CCP start accepting applications to run for CSM?

I expect there will be information about the next election soon™.

CCP Swift has said, on the EVE O discord, that the minutes should be out next week. Hopefully when they come out they will include information on the next election.

Applications will open in July for CSM 18 to take term September 26th, 2023

A bit later than usual, discussed here: CSM 17 Summit Recap and Upcoming Election Announcement

There is nothing stopping folks from starting their campaigns now. Never hurt to get a jump on the competition

I’m excited to hear the enthusiasm for the upcoming CSM elections.

All the durations for each segment of the process remain the same as in previous years. The submission period begins August 1, 2023. More information can be found here: CSM 18 Announcement & Key Dates | EVE Online

The dates in the “Key dates” are correct, as the application portal did open up on the 1st along with a follow-up announcement on the 1st.

Typo was fixed in the “how to apply” section before the 1st, as well
