1. To share thoughts and feedback about the elections, you don't must to
be
volunteer in the committee.
2. I indeed thought about it only when I saw the centralnotice and read
the
voting requirement, I may needed to raise it before. But it's still
doesn't
mean we need to ignore from this issue

Hello dear all,
I would also like to ask everyone who has made their thoughts on the
election to take part on the election committee themselves the next time.
Unfortunately when I made the call for volunteer earlier this year not
very many people responded.
Greetings

started,
with hardly any commentary at all; it is only now, after candidates may
start entering the race, that people are complaining that we've failed
to
give the "right" people a vote (or alternately, that we've given too
many
people a vote). There is almost no variation between the voter
eligibility
this year and in the previous election; the only relevant changes are
dates
for eligibility and the developer commit process (which was changed
because
the Engineering Department changed the way that commits were done).
I suggest that those who would like to see changes at the next election
post on the election post mortem page[1] now, so that these ideas aren't
lost to time.
