That's great! I'm not complaining about the list of voters being made public (I actually support this!). I'm just pointing out that this wasn't made clear when votes were being cast. Something to improve next time around? Thanks, Mike On 3 Jun 2015, at 23:31, Risker risker...@gmail.com wrote:

By the way, my understanding is that the practice of generating a public list of voters who cast ballots, while keeping the nature of their votes private, is relatively common in election processes in general. In the United States, political parties use this information for their get out the

While the total number of eligible voters is reliable (and also made general available), the breakdown of numbers by project is much less reliable, of the reason you bring up. And for the small, and even more the very small projects, the numbers could even be said to be unreliable. For us in
