<h1>Preliminary Results</h1>
<h3>Why preliminary?</h3>
<p>
This results are preliminary results: they can be challenged by sending a
mail to <a
href="elections&#64;gnome&#46;org">elections&#64;gnome&#46;org</a>. If
you want to verify the results, you can look at the <a
href="verify.html">instructions</a> that explain how to do so.<br />
All challenges must be sent before October 22nd, 23:59 UTC.
</p>
<h3>The results</h3>
<p>
You can download the <a href="results.txt">full results</a>. There were
198 valid votes, out of 364 members.
</p>
<p>
The question was: "Do you agree with an anonymous voting process for any
future GNOME Foundation elections and referenda?"
</p>
<p>
Yes (156 votes)<br />
No (42 votes)
</p>
<h3>Future elections and referenda</h3>
<p>
If these results are not challenged, then the results of future elections
and referenda will be anonymized.

<h1>Anonymous Voting Referendum Verification</h1>
<p>
To run the vote counting scripts, you need to download this archive:
<a href="2004-10-verif.tar.gz">2004-10-verif.tar.gz</a>.
</p>
<p>
Please note that you need make, wget, perl and python to run the
verification.
</p>
<p>
We advise every member to download the verification software and to
verify that his/her counted vote is indeed the vote he/she sent
</p>
<h2>Running the verification</h2>
<p>
Here are the steps to obtain the results:
</p>
<pre>$ tar zxvf 2004-10-verif.tar.gz</pre>
<pre>$ cd 2004-10-verif</pre>
<pre>$ make</pre>
<p>
The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be generated
at the top of the output. The final tallies will be at the bottom.
</p>
<h2>The verification software</h2>
<p>
With this verification software, you should get the same results that the
one posted by the GNOME Foundation Membership and Elections Committee.
You may want to verify the validity of this software, so here are some
hints to help you:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
look at registered-voters.txt: this file contains the list of voters.
You can match it with the <a href="voters.html">official list</a>.
</li>
<li>
look at vote-archives.diff: this file contains all the modifications
that are made to the original vote archives to make the script work
without any problem. The main modifications are due to UTF-8 problems
or some misplaced characters. Some spams are also removed from the
archives.
</li>
<li>
look at vote-counter.py: this script does the counting. You can read
its code if you want to search for serious bugs that may alter the
results.
</li>
</ul>
