I would delete this paragraph:<br><pre>The election has 4 steps - first, you must identify yourself using the <br>voting token above. Then select your preferred candidates in order of <br>preference. A third step will show you your choice, and ask you to <br>
confirm or return to the previous step. Finally, after confirming your <br>choice, a unique identifier will be given to you which will allow you to <br>verify after the election that your vote was counted correctly. To ensure <br>
anonymity, no link will be kept between this token and your identifiers, <br>so please keep this token safe. <br></pre>And tell them what they're doing right WHEN they're doing it. First reading: oh, four long steps... that's too much... bye bye potentional voter...<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've had to "do a mulligan" on election email instructions in the past, and have gotten some comments that the instructions were sub-optimal.<br>
<br>
Could people give me some feedback on the following instructions email, please?<br>
<br>
<a href="http://vcs.maemo.org/svn/maemo2midgard/maemo-elections/scripts/instructions.txt" target="_blank">http://vcs.maemo.org/svn/maemo2midgard/maemo-elections/scripts/instructions.txt</a><br>
<br>
Possible criticisms & the trade-offs involved:<br>
* It'd be nice to have a list of candidates, but that does make the mail a lot longer<br>
* Electioninstructions are OK, I think - does anyone have suggestions for improvement?<br>
* Including candidacy statements: Not a fan. If listing the candidates makes the email long, then including declarations makes it too long.<br>
<br>
Any other bits of feedback or suggestions, or is this good to send out next weekend?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Dave.<br>
