I second Louis' request.

Also: I was disenfranchised in the PDWG CoChair elections - as although 
almost dead from Flu for the past few days - I did write what would be 
my presentation to the community and had someone volunteer to read it on 
my behalf - that was refused (there was no relief for the sick!). I was 
also connected via Zoom to the meeting and although I tried to open up 
my Microphone - that was denied. I obviously messaged on Zoom to no 
avail. I could have turned on Video as well - thus could have both been 
seen and heard (the requirement?) although sitting in my bed may have 
been disturbing footage to some. (I'm getting much better now thanks!).

I was also disenfranchised in being able to have my (three) votes 
counted as my "Postman" (Nishal) was not allowed to post my already 
validated voting forms into the box. The E-Vote system - being broken - 
did not allow me to clearly signify my choices.

Also please clarify the statement " The online voting system did not allow for spoilt ballots (by design), and did not allow for abstentions (due to a mistake in configuration)." Surely this is not acceptable.
