If you look at the elections system page, you would know that it is up to the admin to promote users to EditProtected, as EditProtected are not considered staff, and thus, the rights cannot be given through elections.

100 mainspace edits, maturity, and a decent activity are theminimum requirements for this position. It is also given to a user whom the admin thinks can become an efficient staff in the future.

Hope this answered your question!
