[atlarge-discuss] Watchdogs - update

[Joanna Lane <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

In the interests of transparency and for those interested in the
minutiae of the Election process...;-)

> Please note that Gabriel Pineiro has been added to the Watchdogs
> email circulation list, in the capacity of Spanish translator of
> Election documents. We appreciate his assistance, also Alexander Svennsson
has kindly volunteered to provide German translation.
>
> Also, please note that some 800 members casting 11 votes can be
> expected to result in a return of more than 8,000 VOTES to be
> checked by Watchdogs, in some cases manually. In previous DNSO
> Votes, members have been allowed to change their Vote during the
> election, with earlier Ballots discarded in favor of the last
> sent, requiring elimination of duplicate ballots from the count.
> This adds an unnecessary burden to the Secretariat and Watchdogs and is
open to errors.
>
> Since, on this occasion, we will be providing a value added
> service of multi-lingual translation of election documents for
> the *first time ever*, hopefully, a higher than normal turn-out
> can be anticipated. In return, it seems reasonable to restrict
> voters to returning only one ballot paper each, the logic being
> that it is better to have a large number of people voting once
> each, than fewer people voting multiple times. I hope you agree...;-)
>
> Receipt of each ballot paper is acknowledged by the Secretariat
> in any event, again a manual process that we do not need to
> duplicate unnecessarily.

> Regards,
> Joanna
