3) Votetaker Comments
Apologies for the late posting of these results. This was an
accumulated delay caused by the votetaker not posting to the
group properly.
The vote was totally without any incident, no messed up votes, no
bounces, nothing filled in incorrectly, no invalid votes.
Congratulations are due to the voters for making this the simplest
possible vote recorded by UKVoting for some time.
The voting procedures still seem to make the whole Elections
procedure unnecessary, and (once again, again) I hope the
charter is amended in time for the next run.
-------------------------------------------------------------
