Dear All,
Greetings!
As you are all aware, in the Wikimedia India elections 2016 for all the 7 executive committee seats, there are almost 200 members in the voters list. Due to this huge number, it took more time than expected to prepare ballot papers this time. As a result election committee eventually could only send all the ballot papers on last Saturday (8th April 2017).
In order to have more time for all members to send back the papers, election committee has decided to re-schedule the Elections and annual general meeting from 30th April 2017, instead of 23rd April 2017. This decision has been taken so that everyone gets enough time to send back their ballot papers.
Thanks and regards, Election Committee

Dear Team,
Just my opinion but I think the community should invest in some failproof and Open Source online election/voting management system so that the entire process scale transparently. There are couple of solutions available online, but I havent personally checked its credibility - so sadly I cannot comment on it.
Thanks, Tony Thomas https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:01tonythomas

The issue is not exactly technology, but the legal compliance according to the current framework as stipulated by the company law etc. We have pondered upon and tried this much important possible alternative even before. But it was not possible. The law requires paper ballot evidence for future records. (Although it may look ridiculously obsolete).

Hi Vishwa,
Just for the information sake, could you let me know where is it mentioned.
Secondly, chapter is registered under Karnataka Societies Registration Act 1960. It has nothing to do with Companies Act 1956 or 2013( with amendments) considering it is not a for profit organisation.
I tried reading the bare act long time back but couldn't find anything.

Certainly it is registered under Karnataka Act. However, I am not very sure about the exact lines where it is mentioned (or not mentioned). The postal ballots are adapted as per the best advice of our legal consultant in order to avoid any issues should there be any disputes later during the course of the newly elected board.
Moreover, sadly, we are not yet a Non-profit Organizsation officially.

Dear Tony
We need a clear consensus on this from the AGM. Hopefully in this year 's AGM, we will get that consensus. Once consensus is done, we will also need to agree on what type of system to use...
Maybe you can via email to the agm suggest on what type of online voting would be preferred in our case...
Regards Yohann
