Due to an error in a script that was used to generate the list of
authorized voters for this election, roughly 300 votes were cast by
users who were not qualified based on the posted election rules
(requiring that voters have made at least 600 edits before 01 June
2009 across Wikimedia wikis and have made at least 50 edits between 01
January and 01 July 2009).  Those votes will be removed by the
election committee prior to the election being tallied by Software in
the Public Interest.



Once this is completed, the election results will be tallied and
announced shortly thereafter.



Questions regarding why a vote was struck can be addressed to
board-elections at lists.wikimedia.org.



For the committee,
