Players may submit a nominee for a Professional to the following email address: nominations@anarchy-online.com. When writing this email, the following format has to be used (nothing more) :

(Subject) [PROFESSION] Professional Nomination - [CHARACTERFORUMNAME]
(Body) [link]

So an email would look like the following sample:

(Subject): Bureaucrat Professional Nomination - Malaxia
(Body): http://forums.anarchy-online.com/member.php?u=672355

After the nominations period is up, one week will be spent compiling the information and contacting the parties who have been successfully nominated. After this week period has finished, a Funcom-created thread will appear in each Profession-specific forum for "Campaign Speeches". Each candidate will have the opportunity to write up a biography and a message for the player-base as to why they should be elected as a Professional. These posts will be written by the candidates and posted by a Funcom representative.

A voting thread will be created by Funcom personnel. This thread will have all of the eligible nominees listed in a poll, which the player-base may then vote on. This voting process will last for ten days. After this ten day voting process has concluded, the two candidates with the most votes will go on to become the Professionals for their chosen Profession.

Every 3 months, the players will have the opportunity to vote one or both professional out if they were not convincing.

Every 9 months, the whole process restarts.
