Congrats to the new board members. I had thought that the election period closed at midnight tonight (not midnight last night), but these two are clear winners. :) -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits

Same here, though luckily not a tight election ("percentage of votes cast is positive" is the relevant metrics). ;-) For future elections it's probably a good idea to specify the concrete time (0:00, 23:59, or 24:00) and timezone. Gerald

I agree - and I think using 23:59 would make it much less ambiguous. Using midnight (in 12h or 24h format) always makes it more ambiguous - my read was that I could vote on 31-Dec-2021. -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits

I think the problem here is timezones, Midnight for you is more then halfway into the next day for myself and some of the Election officials, would probably make sense to either use UTC, or probably the most sense is for anywhere in the world ie UTC+12 or UTC+11 -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

Could be, I would say specify a time and timezone (UTC is good, that's easy for everyone to figure out from where they are - if it's UTC+12 with the goal of being after all timezones have moved to the next day (ie, everyone can vote on Dec 31 regardless of the time in their time zone, that also works because there's no calculation needed - wherever you are, if it's December 31 (or whatever date), voting is still open. -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits

Thanks for the suggestion to avoid ambiguity in future elections. In last year's election we did specify 23h59 UTC I think. We'll keep it such. Regards, Ish Sookun
