Messages received by the cctld-ballot alias (including errors): 159

Several people contacted me privately, requesting a second copy of a
ballot.  However, no ballots were sent to any addresses other than the
official contact address in the list given to me.  There were other
messages asking for clarification on procedures or other information.
None asked for preliminary ballot counts or any similar privileged
information.

Including the regional election, I spent about 10 hours working on this,
I would say.

If you would like further information (for example, a list of the the
registries participating), let me know -- I'm not sure how far the
secrecy of the secret ballot is supposed to extend.  I have a record of
all emails sent to me on this topic.
