You need to login with your connect.opensuse.org credentials, you can choose from two candidates and you have to vote for two candidates - of course you can only vote if you are openSUSE member [2][3].
While it's a bit late for this discussion, maybe requiring people to log in in order to vote is a bad idea? The way KDE and the OCI do it is by sending every voting member a unique link they can use to vote, and there's a system in place to verify that your vote was entered correctly. Your identity and the vote you cast are not correlated at all by this system.
Cornell University even has a free (as in freedom and price) implementation of the above service called CIVS[1].
connect.opensuse.org does not do this, and personally I question the practical usefulness of connect.o.o. Aside from voting what _practical_ purpose is it solving? Registration to become a board member doesn't need to have a full-fledged "social network"...
Hello There are plans for replacing current voting system with helios [1], hopefully this will be implemented in not so distant future. Cheers Martin 1. https://heliosvoting.org/
