An on-line election does not violate the PDP.

May be my fault was not indicating also option 2, but note that you didn't responded to the choices suggested in my email, so I needed to interpret following *all* your emails. Sorry not being more precise on that interpretation.

I did, however, object to several suggestions which were brought up (admittedly, not according to the constraints you proposed on choices) and which included other people’s proposals that were not among the 4 you put forward.

Of course, this can't be guaranteed, so the elections process must be ready for that contingence.
