Consistent with our commitment to openness, WMUK published our vote on our website last Friday, the day it was agreed by the board. It's at https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Minutes_2016-04-29 for anyone who may be interested.
Best regards

It seems like people are talking about two separate things at the same time:
- Some people are taking about publishing *the votes* (either before, or
after the election has finished)
- Some people are talking about publishing *the list of who has voted*
right now.
It is this second thing that I understood to be the request being made, and it is also completely consistent with the way the community-election works (where the voter, but not their vote, is published immediately). I also wouldn't think that publishing the names of the Chapters that have voted (and therefore identifying which ones have not yet) is still consistent with the preference that the *vote itself* remain private.
So, in order for the community (and those of us who are members of Chapters in particular) to encourage the chapters have not yet voted to do so, would it be possible to please publish a table on Meta of the list of voting-eligible organisations, and a "tick" next to their name if they have indeed already submitted their vote. [NOT who they voted for]
Thanks, -Liam
