Can someone add a note about what the _reopen_nominations candidate is for to
the instructions in the ballot?  It might cause some confusion to those who
haven't voted before.

The rules for the Council election as well as details on how to vote for
this election are available in the Council Elections Archives[1]. In any
case, here is the quick procedure on how to vote using votify:

    * If you're eligible to vote in this election, log in to
dev.gentoo.org
    * Type votify --new council-201206 to create a new ballot file
    * Edit .ballot-council-201206 file in your home directory and rank
the candidates
    * Once you're finished, use votify --verify council-201206 command
to verify the validity of your ballot file
    * If everything is okay, use votify --submit council-201206 to
submit your vote. Don't forget your vote doesn't count until you
submit it.
    * If you run into problems, you can either work them out yourself
using votify --help or contact election officials and ask them for help

The elections for the Council include the pseudo _reopen_nominations
candidate. If the pseudo-candidate '_reopen_nominations' appears in
7th place or higher those candidates that rank above
'_reopen_nominations' will be the current council. A second period of
election will be opened for the remaining council seats. No third
period of election will be opened in the event '_repoen_nominations'
ranks higher than the candidates necessary to fill the council[2]. In
case there's a need to fill a seat during the council term due to a
retirement, a new election must be held to fill that seat.
