We should be careful in not shaming communities to vote poorly to save face, or even vote for people they dont want as some may truly feel that the candidates who have nominated wont be a good representative of the community.
The individual votes are visable to every affiliate who has access to vote and we all know that the more people who have access the more likely it'll be shared anyway either in part or in full.

Yes, for clarity, this is what I meant - a public list of who has voted so far (or who hasn't - it's much the same thing, as the overall electorate is known), but not a list of the votes.
I'm quite happy with confidential voting - either fully secret or, as Itzik says, just confidential until the end of the vote.
But knowing *who* has voted would be quite useful. Ultimately, the chapters represent large chunks of the community, and if the chapter isn't doing its job then it's good their members know about it in order to chase them. Discovering afterwards that your chapter hasn't voted is interesting, but not very useful at making sure votes get cast while there's still time - and ultimately, I think that last part is what we all want to achieve :-)

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
