Procedure for voting
 * Please vote using PRSTV (i.e. rank your preferences in order e.g. "A, B, C, D, E, F, G")
 * To do this you may use the template * — Select it from the asterisk to the two curly brackets and Copy, then Paste when you go down to the Balloting Area below. To make your vote, simply put the number (X=1 is your most favourite, Y=7 is your least favourite) with the appropriate letter.
 * You are not obliged to express a preference for any of the options that you do not wish to support (or have no preference about); it is easiest to leave the number as zero, i.e. Z=0, rather than deleting the letter.
 * Sign and date your vote but do not append any comments to your vote; they will be removed.

Notes:
 * Before voting please familiarise yourself with policy on naming convention and guidelines for disambiguation.
 * Closing date/adjudication:
 * Voting will end at 21:00 (UTC) of the evening of 1 July 2009 (that is 22:00 IST and BST).
 * A member of the ArbCom committee will adjudicate the result of the vote
 * Results of the vote will yield two (or possibly three if the numbers clearly warrant it), options which will appear in the main poll associated with this project. In practice two options will add three options to the current draft of the main poll. Three would add six options.


 * Procedures for dealing with fraud:
 * Unregistered users may not vote (to prevent fraud) but may contribute comments.
 * Votes by sock puppets or meat puppets (and their masters) or similar will be removed from the balloting area.

Its a good job we're all intelligent people, Single Transferable Vote really confuses me, and i studied Government and Politics!Willski72 (talk) 19:32, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What's wrong with my signature? Why do I have to sign "rannpháirtí anaithnid"? My vote is the one below Willski72's vote. Something is seriously wrong. FF3000  ·   talk  19:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Problem fixed FF3000  ·   talk  19:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea! That weirded me out for a second. There was a bug in the tempalate. I've fixed it now. Could you resign your ballot using four tildes? Thanks.
 * Also, thanks Jza84 for the bug testing too! I guess we must tell people not to substitute the template!! --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 19:57, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

What's with all the invisible characters in this vote? They don't show up on the page, but they're in there when you try to edit the ballot section. MickMacNee (talk) 19:53, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Just the complicated signature of that user. -- FF3000 ·   talk  19:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I think the stv templates need to be substituted. --Jza84 | Talk  19:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Other way around, *don't substitute* the template (it won't *really* but that the code from the template itself). --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 19:59, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I meant that. Must be the sun. I'll fix my mistake sorry. --Jza84 | Talk  20:00, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Closure
As I opened this poll I have made plans to close it after the appointed time. Just so we don't have edit conflicts in at 21:01 UTC (it is 19:15 UTC now). -- Evertype·✆ 19:15, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Who's tallying? Rannṗáirtí Anaiṫnid? -- Evertype·✆ 07:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I have done a tally and put the results here. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 07:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Please discuss these matters here. -- Evertype·✆ 08:56, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
