<p>Election update: I've just updated the wiki again with more
candidate statements (a few still incoming, but I'll update as I
get them):
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Oceania_Elections#2020_Candidates">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Oceania_Elections#2020_Candidates</a></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There are actually *9* candidates, not 11. Sorry Alex, I didn't
proof read that very well before you sent it!</p>
<p>Voting will open around mid day this Sunday (depending on what
time zone you're in). It will close a week later on Sunday 6th
December, 11:59pm Perth time (+8hrs), not 11:59:59pm as initially
advised in case anyone was counting on those last 59 seconds to
cast a vote. Election Buddy will send you an email with a
personal voting link when the election opens.<br>
</p>

<p>If anyone has any issues with voting, please get in touch via
