There is no information in the token. You can see the code that generates it here: http://vcs.maemo.org/svn/maemo2midgard/maemo-elections/vote/include/step4-commit.php We store the token in one table (election_anon_tokens) with the election_id (after a uniqueness check), then store the votes of the person in the election_votes table, with the highest preference in ($election_id, $token, $cand1, 1), second preference ($election_id, $token, $cand2, 2), etc. I guess we could encode the person's vote in the token also, if there were a good reaso,... but that's not what we do now.
