Recently we held our leader elections and after a lively discussion period on the (internal) mailing lists and voting phase with two candidates [**Levente "anthraxx" Polyák**](https://archlinux.org/people/developers/#anthraxx) was re-elected as Arch Linux Project Lead.
As per [our election rules][0] he is re-elected with the term lasting two years. The role of of the project lead within Arch Linux is connected to [a bunch of responsibilities][1] regarding decision making (when no consensus can be reached), community leadership, Code of Conduct enforcement, handling financial matters with SPI and overall project management tasks. **Congratulations to Levente, thank you for stepping up to serve this community and all the best wishes for another successful term! 🥳** [0]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Project_Leader#Election [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Project_Leader#Roles URL: https://archlinux.org/news/arch-linux-2026-leader-election-results/
