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.
