There is a private Arbitration Committee wiki, but access to that is strictly limited to currently serving arbitrators (and possibly a small number of WMF employees).

The only vote relevant to the Arbitration Committee that non-Committee members can participate in is the annual election, which happens on Wikipedia in December. Editors must have made 150 edits to articles before 1 November to be eligible to vote in those elections. Thryduulf (talk) 12:28, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
