2021-ലെ ബോർഡ് ഓഫ് ട്രസ്റ്റീസ് തിരഞ്ഞെടുപ്പ് 2021 ഓഗസ്റ്റ് 4 മുതൽ 2021 ഓഗസ്റ്റ് 17 വരെയാണ്. വിക്കിമീഡിയ സമൂഹത്തിലെ അംഗങ്ങൾക്ക് മൂന്ന് വർഷത്തേക്ക് നാല് സ്ഥാനാർത്ഥികളെ തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കാനുള്ള അവസരമുണ്ട്. വോട്ടർമാർക്കുള്ള നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ, വോട്ടർമാരുടെ യോഗ്യത, വോട്ടർമാരുടെ പതിവുചോദ്യങ്ങൾ എന്നിവ ഈ താളിൽ കാണാവുന്നതാണ്.

വോട്ട് രേഖപ്പെടുത്തേണ്ട വിധം

താങ്കളുടെ വോട്ടിംഗ് അനുഭവം സുഗമമായി നടക്കുന്നുവെന്ന് ഉറപ്പുവരുത്താൻ സഹായിക്കുന്ന ചില വിവരങ്ങൾ ചുവടെയുണ്ട്. താങ്കൾ വോട്ട് ചെയ്യുന്നതിന് മുമ്പ് ഈ ഭാഗം ശ്രദ്ധാപൂർവ്വം വായിക്കുക.

ഈ തിരഞ്ഞെടുപ്പിൽ സിംഗിൾ ട്രാൻസ്ഫറബിൾ വോട്ടിംഗ് രീതിയാണ് ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നത്. കണക്കുകൂട്ടൽ പ്രക്രിയയുടെ ഒരു വിശദീകരണം ഇവിടെ കാണാം.
On the voting page, the voter will see a sequence of dropdown boxes. The voter will rank candidates from “Preference 1” (most preferred) to “Preference 20” (least preferred).
Starting from the top, the voter will begin ranking candidates they consider most suitable to be elected. Candidates that the voter believes are least suitable should be marked toward the bottom of their list.
A voter may stop ranking candidates at any point during the voting process. For example, out of 20 candidates, the voter may only rank the top 6 and not rank the remaining 14.
Candidates need to be ranked without skipping numbers in-between. Skipping numbers will result in an error. For example:

Preference one: Susan

Preference two: (blank)

Preference three: Joseph

This is not allowed. Preference three cannot be added without adding preference two.

A voter may not rank the same candidate multiple times. Ranking the same candidate multiple times will result in an error. For example:

Preference one: Susan

Preference two: Susan

Preference three: Joseph

This is not allowed. Candidate Susan was ranked twice.

People can re-vote in the election. It overwrites their previous vote. They can do this as many times as they like.

Single Transferable Vote

This voting system allows voters to rank candidates. The benefit of this is voters can rank their choices in order of preference. This helps share your preferences more clearly than support or oppose. If your top choice candidate already has enough votes to be selected, your vote will be moved to your second choice candidate. If your top choice candidate will not win, your vote will be moved to your second choice candidate. And so on.

SecurePoll was updated for this voting system. Meek’s STV with Droop quota is the specific system used.

7. How will this data be used?

Metrics about this election will be summarized on the Board of Trustees election pages on Meta and the Post-Analysis report of the 2021 Board of Trustees election. No personally identifiable information will be published. This personally identifiable information may be used to determine the number of independent voters and the global spread of voters.
