Unfortunately the CIVS poll we used for the election got corrupted due to technical issues out of our control. A symptom of the problem is that the system appears to allow voters to vote multiple times. As such we are invalidating the existing poll, please hold off voting for a new future poll instead. Already submitted ballots appear to be irrecoverable. We apologise for the inconvenience.
According to the CIVS admin, a data corruption like that has never been seen before. The CIVS FAQ (archive link) implies this to be first time data has been lost since 2006. As far as we understand, the Berkley DB files got corrupted in such a way that at least the table of the voters who have voted is not handled correctly anymore.
We have no insight into the CIVS server, but are in contact with the admin to try figure out what went went wrong in more detail and how to best proceed. We will follow up with another announcement no later than this Friday.
Email updates possible again for now
As a consequence of the above, we can again allow email updates until the new poll is started. To do so, follow these steps.
The candidates
You can also still prepare yourself to vote by looking at the candidates.
