Hi Tapani > That is not the case here. You are able to vote any selection > of candidates you choose and thus express your preferences. > Even if it won't change who actually gets elected. If there were multiple candidates for one slot I would be selecting the candidate I feel best suited for that role. But we don't have that situation. If I do not believe that the only candidate for the slot is unsuited for that role then there should be an option to indicate that I do not support that person's candidacy. And it should count. Saying that you can express your preferences but it won't make any difference is a terrible indictment of any process. > >> I already voted but think there’s a governance issue that merits >> consideration. > Agreed. But not big enough to merit restarting the vote. Disagree - it is big enough. For a start there is clearly no agreement or general understanding on what NOTA means for this election. That alone is enough to require a restart on the vote with a more clear ballot or indeed invalidate the vote altogether.
