Transparency & Ballot Integrity

Transparency is a core goal of this election. The Election Committee (co-chaired by Brendan Grama and Dan Gaspar) has developed a multi-layered protocol to ensure a fair process:

🔒 Ballot secrecy — your vote is completely secret
📋 Public counting — ballot counting is open to all members
🛡️ Anti-tampering measures — protocols to prevent counterfeiting, stuffing, and tampering
👁️ Observer rights — any member may observe the process

Communication will happen through three channels: the digital lobby sign, this website, and under-door flyers distributed in three rounds.
