Hello,

It seems that the vote is now closed. I made a script [1] to check that voters comply with some of the rules of voting eligibility [2].

I found two cases of non-compliance:

* one person voted twice, once with their main account and once with their bot account (User:Uziel302 and User:Uzielbot, the latter vote has been struck after I reported the case to the elections committee);

* one person voted twice, once with their personal account and once with their professional account as an employee of Wikimedia Deutschland (User:Masssly [3] and User:Mohammed_Sadat_(WMDE) [4]).

Note that Masssly is a member of the Wikimedia Foundation elections committee [5].

I'm only providing the data, I have no official role in this election and I don't wish to comment (I certainly don't have the whole picture), even though I'm sad to see some people repeatedly causing concerns at the occasions of elections.

Hi everyone,

The Community Voting period for the 2022 Board of Trustees election is now open. Here are some helpful links to get you the information you need to vote:

• Try the Election Compass, showing how candidates stand on 15 different topics.
• Read the candidate statements and answers to Affiliate questions
• Learn more about the skills the Board seeks and how the Analysis Committee found candidates aligned with those skills

If you are ready to vote, you may go to SecurePoll voting page to vote now. You may vote from August 23 at 00:00 UTC to September 6 at 23:59 UTC. To see about your voter eligibility, please visit the voter eligibility page.
