<p class="MsoNormal">Exactly WHO are able to "work out how a person voted from emails" ...staff? I don't think other voters know that. Closed ballot could be good, as long as we can somehow verify that the votes were given to the right people. I don't really
have a problem with Maryam knowing who voted for who. <o:p></o:p></p>
