Regarding Citizendium Election 2016:
Citizendium Election 2016 will use ballotbin.com in order to speed up counting and providing for anonymous voting. Voters will register by e-mail via the wiki to an account to ensure that only CZ account holders can vote. Citizens will then be sent a link by an Election Committee member that allows them to vote and view provisional results as soon as the ballot closes. Official results would still have to be ratified by the Managing Editor or Council and published. The timetable for the election is as follow: Begin accepting nominations and referenda at 00:01 UTC on Sunday, May 15th 2016; Begin registration of voters on Ballotbin from Sunday, May 15th, 2016; Close the period for nominations and referendum proposals at midnight UTC on Saturday, May 28th 2016; Nominations and election statements are accepted, and referendum proposals may be supported or amended, until the Council or Managing Editor authorises the ballot (up to June 4th, 2016); Have the ballot prepared and begin accepting ballots from eligible voters from 00:01 UTC on Sunday, June 5th 2016; Close voter registration period at midnight UTC on Friday, June 10th 2016; Stop accepting ballots at midnight UTC on Saturday, June 11th 2016 (provisional results available immediately); Ratify and officially publish the results by midnight UTC on Monday, June 20th 2016 -Anthony.Sebastian Citizendium Managing Editor
