[Chapter-delegates] Board Election

[bukhalidn]

+1

Unless if I missed something the online voting tool does not offer the
equivalent of "blank ballot" vote. I believe that to differentiate between
lack of interest and abstention, the electronic voting system should support
"blank ballot".

Best regards,
Nabil

on my calendar it's the 24th today. That is 23 days past the first and one
day left into the voting deadline.  To the latter: I, for one, take the
liberty to exploit the full extent of the deadline the election committee
came up with.  I am also extremely sensitive to "public pressure",
especially when it comes to elections.
That links to the former: It truly puzzles me to see a request to a chapter
to justify their vote (to other chapters), even if that is an abstention.
There are several reasons to abstain and sometimes even a qualified
abstention might have more value than a ballot cast under "pressure".  I am
pretty sure that several people on this list who are, sadly, much more
qualified from personal experience than myself, would be able to share some
depressing insight. Time to get a globe.
