That's great! I'm not complaining about the list of voters being made public (I actually support this!). I'm just pointing out that this wasn't made clear when votes were being cast. Something to improve next time around?
Thanks, Mike

There's been a publicly viewable list of voters for every SecurePoll based election or vote since the time of its creation. Until 2013, BoT voter lists were usually available for several months after the election, until the external host cleared them off (usually just before the next election). The voter lists for English Wikipedia's arbitration committee elections going back to 2009 are still available. The 2013 WMF elections (BoT, FDC, FDC ombud on a single ballot) continue to be publicly viewable on votewiki. There may have been other project-specific uses of which I'm not aware.

I personally don't mind it being made public that I voted in this election, but this really is something that voters should be clearly informed about when they place their votes!
