Thank you for the information. Thank you to all the candidates and 
congratulations to elected candidates!


Now speaking of technical side of the election, I looked up at the 
https://www.opavote.com/ and could not find a geographical visualization 
of the vote. It would be interesting to see how voted different 
countries and regions. In traditional elections such maps are widely 
used [1], but it seems not for an election in a GIS community. The 
cobbler's children are the worst shod - phenomenon? It is possible to 
record an IP address of a voter, calculate statistics, and display it on 
a map in real time, with the number of people who voted and still 
expected to vote.


I could nod find a possibility to check if the vote for my token 
"gS...Txju5tQl...jcUb9zu...", which I received by e-mail as part of the 
URL, was registered correctly in the database. I think it would take a 
month or two to write an open source script for such an election with 
real time geographical visualization, with a possibility to check the 
correctness of a vote for the own token. I might err, perhaps, there is 
a pitfall, and "underwater rock", something related to security or a 
legal issue. But so far it looks straightforward to me.
