[Qgis-psc] [VOTE] Re: AGM voting: invalid votes

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

Why don’t we already publish the list of voters and their votes (with email addresses removed) somewhere e.g. in the AGM minutes. That way all voters can confirm that their vote was registered as intended, and members of the country groups can confirm that their collective vote was recorded as expected?

Regards

Tim

In Switzerland there is a website that publishes all votes of all parliament members: https://www.parlament.ch/de/ratsbetrieb/abstimmungen/wer-hat-wie-abgestimmt-im-nationalrat <https://www.parlament.ch/de/ratsbetrieb/abstimmungen/wer-hat-wie-abgestimmt-im-nationalrat> (available in german, french, italian - no english). There you can filter by party, topic, people, etc. - it is important that these votes are public, so one can decide which persons to re-elect or check if the voting member voted as promised to the people they represent.
