Therefore no members came during the down time, and left without voting (the exception being Bill who cast his vote the following day). I should also mention that I extended the voting period by 24 hours as a result of this virus issue that caused the poll to close, even though from what we can tell the poll was only down for a maximum of 10 hours.

The vote for moderators was:

(a) free
(b) fair
(c) chivalrous; and
(d) a perfect example of democracy in action.

OzChess, I salute you!

The only curmudgeons who don't are Kevin and Bill.
Yes, I too think this is a good summary J2G.

Elections held; good candidates to choose from; all qualified visitors had an opportunity to record their preference; a result accepted as fair by all who have posted at Ozchess.
