73
74 <p>
75 For both Foundation and Council elections, <uri
76 link="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method">Condorcet method of
77 voting</uri> is used to count votes.
78 </p>
79
80 <p>
81 To cast votes we use program names <c>votify</c> which is by default installed
82 on <c>dev.gentoo.org</c>.
83 </p>
84
85 <p>
86 Instruction on how to use <c>votify</c> to cast a vote:
87 </p>
88
89 <ul>
90 <li>If you're eligible to vote in that election, log in to <c>dev.gentoo.org</c></li>
91 <li>Type <c>votify --new election-name</c> to create a new ballot file</li>
92 <li>
93 Edit <path>.ballot-election-name</path> file in your home directory and rank
94 the candidates
95 </li>
96 <li>
97 Once you're finished, use <c>votify --verify election-name</c> command to
98 verify validity of your ballot file
99 </li>
100 <li>
101 If everything is okay, use <c>votify --submit election</c> your vote.
102 </li>
103 <li>
104 If you run into problems, you can either work them out yourself using
105 <c>votify --help</c> or contact election officials and ask them for help
106 </li>
