On the board meeting two hours ago we discussed adding an
"abstain" option to future votes. We unanimously agreed.
That is, future votings shall include "abstain" as a choice.
Thank you to all who provided feedback!
Gerald
PS: We understand board elections allow a flexible number of
choices, including choosing no candidate, so we do not see
this as applicable there.

Hi Gerald,
I suggest that the option be called "blank vote" rather than
"abstain".
Abstention by definition would be not voting.
Therefore, with the "blank vote" we can differentiate between the
percentage of abstention (i.e people who did not vote) and people who
voted but didn't like any of the choices presented (i.e therefore a
"blank vote").
Regards,
Ish Sookun

"None of the above" is what's normally suggested and both has the benefit of
being a definite choice and can be used on list choices as well as binary yes / no
choices.

Yes, that would be fine as well.

No, it wouldn't.
I the opensuse name vote, "none of the above" would not cover my
possible vote, which basically was "I don't know" or "I don't
understand
".
The correct one is "blank" or "abstain" (it is the one chosen in my
legislation), while "none of the above" is another different
possibility when choosing one or more from a list.

I am confident to say that we did not focus on the naming of that
option, but having (or not having) such an option, so happy to follow
your recommendation as election official, Ish.
Thank you,
Gerald
