I feel like any votes for this kind of thing (positions of power etc) should always be anonymous to avoid 1) hurt feeling "I thought they liked me why didn't they vote for me" 2) people questioning other people's votes after the fact e.g bullying 3) if just feels off to me for this kind of thing.

I know that doing this non electronically allows for this flow better, but I think we should look for options to allow that kind of thing.

Right - those have already been addressed: Sending ‘revise your vote’ requests to those who didn’t follow the process well, removing invalid votes.

Can I suggest rather than discussing this any further here, and before carrying out any PSC vote on new procedures, we carry out a post election survey inviting comments and proposals on how to improve the process. There are obviously a range of different opinions and sentiments at play here and I don’t think we can constructively address these in the middle of the ongoing voting process. Our current system is the result of iterative improvements to the election process that various people proposed over the years and while it may not be the epitome of voting systems, I think it is fair and honestly reflects the desires of the community.

If anyone has doubts about how their vote has been cast or what they voted on, they can ask Marco to generate them a link that will let them review their vote.


Regards

Tim
