Dear Suyash
Actually we have sent postage worth Rs22 which is enough to send it by
Registered post.
In case you want to send it by Speed post, you can pay the difference
amount of Rs8 (cost of Sending by Speed post is Rs30) to the post office
while sending.

Dear Members,
Greetings!
As mentioned in the previous mail, ballot papers for all 203 the eligible
voters were successfully sent via speed post on 8th April 2017. Let's thank
Yogesh for this. Every ballot paper has been signed by an election
committee member with the seal of Wikimedia India.
Members need to vote 7 candidates by checking the box next to the candidate
name and sign the paper with their member id.
Each ballot paper must have the following for it to be valid
- Maximum selection of 7 candidates
- Signature of the member (the signature should match the one on the
membership form)
- Membership id (Please check voters list to know your membership id)
Ballot papers should be sent back via registered post in a small self
addressed envelope provided with stamps of 22 rupees. They need to reach
the office address on or before 30th April 2017.
We take this opportunity to wish all the candidates all the best!
In case of any doubts or queries, please feel free to ask any of the
election committee members (myself or Mr. Kishore or Mr. Yogesh).
Thanks and regards,
Election committee

Dear All,
Greetings!
The election committee of Wikimedia India has a very important duty to
ensure that the election takes place in a free, open & fair manner. To
enforce its duty, the election committee has taken various precautions to
ensure that each ballot papers it receives from the members are valid & the
votes given by the members are valid.
To ensure this following are the security features we have included in he
ballot papers which have been sent to all the members whose name is present
in the voters list.
- All of the ballot papers have been signed by one of the election
committee member (Mr. Yogesh). This is to ensure that when the votes will
be counted, we are sure that the ballot papers are genuine.
- All ballot papers have the original coin stamp of Wikimedia India.
- Upon receiving the ballot papers, the sign of the election committee
member and seal will be checked to ensure the validity of the ballot paper.
- On the ballot paper, we will also cross verify the sign of the member
with their membership form and also their member id, to make sure we
received the same papers that were sent to them.
The Election committee hopes that maximum members vote for this election &
make it a success.
Thanks and regards,
Election Committee

Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message.
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Board Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are now being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.[1]
The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation,[2] so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates here: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>.
The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC) and occurring on Meta-Wiki at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>
We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>
Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.
The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.
The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.
* April 7 (00:00 UTC) - April 20 (23:59 UTC): Board nominations
* April 7 - April 20: Board candidates questions submission period
* April 21 - April 30: Board candidates answer questions
* May 1 - May 14: Board voting period
* May 15-19: Board vote checking
* May 20: Board result announcement goal
In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:
* Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
** There are five positions being filled. More information about this election can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Funds_D…>.
* Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
** One position is being filled. More information about this election can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Funds_D…>.
Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.
More information on this year's elections can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017>.
Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, <board-elections AT wikimedia.org>.
