[governance] Tips about the election process

[Divina MEIGS]

Hello

I confirm that you can see the stats only after the vote, and they don¹t
mean much it seems to me  as it is just one figure, without indication of
trends or anything. If at all, it only entices the voter to encourage others
to join the vote!
