    Is it possible to see how the vote was divided (like here http://www.chesscanada.info/forum/sh...ULTS-OF-VOTING )..or maybe I missed the moment when the vote became secret?

    Thank you,
    Nikolay

    It is a secret ballot so that is not possible and I don't believe we have ever revealed the result of votes even back when votes were in person. Pieces of paper were passed around for the votes and the papers folded and placed in a container and then counted by Lyle in the one or two in-person AGM meetings that I recall.

    Upon further investigation - it seems, results on motions on quarterly meetings have always been public, while voting on AGM was not. Not sure why that is, but it seems to be the case.

    In an election voting, votes were always (that's probably 10 years and a little bit) secret ones.

    Though, a sign-in shall be public or at least visible to VM to my understanding. It is not a membership list, but WHO is attending the meeting indeed.

    One more question/concern - does anyone see the results of the voting with all the names of the people that voted? If a vote is secret, there must be some neutral (not the current executive) party observing the integrity of the voting results.

    In principle, the forum database should keep who voted how. The Administrator (Chris Mallon - ?) would have access to them.

    As I read the NFA the ballot (a secret vote) shall be requested.

    165 (1) Subject to section 171 and the by-laws, voting at a meeting of members shall be by show of hands, except if a ballot is demanded by a member entitled to vote at the meeting.

    Ballot

    (2) A member may demand a ballot either before or after any vote by show of hands.

    Usually I did not care much about personal voting, but in 2016, when CFC voted for changes in Olympic rules, I could see the name of VMs who voted for my proposal or against it.

    Traditionally, any election for Executive, Officer, Committee Member or Voting Member of unaffiliated province is by secret ballot.

    If this is indeed the case, I find it acceptable (administrator Chris Mallon acting as a neutral party). Maybe the executive can confirm that Chris is indeed the only administrator on the forum that has access to the voting results.
