This means there is now slightly over three and a half days left to vote
for this election.
At this point we received 61 votes from 229 eligible voters, meaning the
turnout is approximately 26.63%. As we've warned before, at the end of
this election the membership list of the Foundation will be reviewed and
all members that predate the 2009 election and didn't vote in that
election and this one, will have their membership cancelled.
So if you haven't cast your vote yet, please do so ASAP!
