We are going to have an election for a new host in this group

91. That's a good point. We should start thinking about details.

Seeing as polls now show who voted for what, how can that make it easier to conduct an election and still have a 'tick sheet' sort of thing to verify everyone who is voting.

I don't think we can have a list of all the people who have registered to this forum - at least pretty sure Skinner said that wasn't possible or am I not remembering correctly. Could be that we can't see the list, but admin is able to and can give it to us. Argh, can't remember.

So if it's possible we can have that list, those are the ones able to vote - people who have subscribed to this group are eligible to vote.

And we can verify by looking at the poll itself.

BUT, and I'm sure I read this in another election thread somewhere else on DU - there should be a date established as to the cut-off of who is a voting member (a date well previous to any talk of an election) to avoid people subscribing just to vote and cause mischief. I'd like to think that wouldn't be done, but stranger things have happened on DU, as we all know.

Something to think about.
Does that sound fair?
