hi,
sorry if this has been discussed anywhere and i just missed it, but... has it been decided what process is being used for the election? i see someone created 'UK voteing account' (sic) on meta, which apparently [0] is a role account people will email votes to.
if peoples' votes are going to be visible to the election committee members, why not have a proper public vote, which is much more transparent and verifiable?
It was always going to be visible to someone, even if an election had been ran using BoardVote, as someone has to hold the private key to decrypt the votes. The idea is that only a limited number, but more than one, i.e. the committee members, can see it to make sure one person can't just announce whatever result s/he want. It was commented that a number of candidates would prefer for it not to be a public vote.
