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.
