Oh, I am reassured that the costs are tiny and that project reports might exist.

Can anyone with an understanding of WMF operational reports add a link
to where the total actual cost of running the referendum can be seen,
or are WMF project reports not available to the community?

It would be nice to give a true dollar value to "tiny" as we may want
to commission several more on an improved basis if they can run so
cheaply.

Thanks,
Fae
